Green Salad
Description
The salad combines crisp lettuce or mixed greens with juicy cherry tomatoes, refreshing cucumber slices, and sharp red onion for a variety of textures and flavors. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory note, while homemade croutons contribute crunch. A drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette ties the ingredients together with a balanced tang and slight sweetness.
This salad is best served immediately after tossing to maintain the crispness of the greens and croutons. It works well as a light side dish or starter and complements a variety of meals.
Prepare the dressing and croutons ahead of time for convenience, but toss the salad just before serving to preserve freshness.
