Description
Crisp romaine lettuce, juicy tomatoes, red onions, and radishes are tossed in a quick garlic and lime dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (45 ml)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (60 ml)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 6 radishes, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Whisk the vegetable oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl until well combined.
- Wash the romaine lettuce and dry it thoroughly with paper towels or a salad spinner.
- Tear the dried lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large serving bowl.
- Add the diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and sliced radishes to the bowl with the lettuce.
- Pour the lime dressing over the vegetables.
- Toss the salad gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Serve the salad immediately.
Notes
- Dry the lettuce completely before adding the other ingredients. Wet leaves will water down the dressing and make the salad soggy.
- You can mix the dressing up to two days in advance. Store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and shake well before using.
- Slice the radishes as thin as possible for a delicate texture. A mandoline slicer works well for this task.
