Elaboració
Pas a pas
- 1
Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce under cold running water, then pat it dry with paper towels or spin it in a salad spinner.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Removing excess water from the lettuce is crucial for a crisp salad and to prevent the dressing from becoming diluted.
- 2
Chop the dried romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch squares, and transfer them to a large salad bowl.
Uns 1 min
- 3
Wash and core the tomatoes, then slice them into uniform wedges or rounds, adding them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Use a serrated knife for clean cuts on tomatoes without crushing them.
- 4
Peel the cucumber, then thinly slice it into rounds or half-moons, and add the slices to the other vegetables in the bowl.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: For a less bitter cucumber, you can score the skin lengthwise with a fork before peeling, or remove the seeds if they are large.
- 5
Peel the onion and thinly slice it into delicate rings or half-moons, then scatter these over the vegetables in the bowl.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: To reduce the pungency of raw onion, soak the slices in ice water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the salad.
- 6
In a small separate bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Uns 1 min
- 7
Whisk the dressing ingredients vigorously until they are well combined and slightly emulsified.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed; a good dressing should be balanced between acidity, oil, and salt.
- 8
Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
Uns 1 min
- 9
Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or clean hands until all the vegetables are uniformly coated with the dressing.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Toss just before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting and becoming soggy.

This Salada Mista is incredibly versatile. It pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, roasted chicken, or any rich stew. For an added touch, consider crumbling some fresh goat cheese or a sprinkle of toasted nuts. A crisp Vinho Verde or a light rosé would be a delightful beverage pairing.
Store undressed salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Store the dressing in a separate airtight container.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh and cold; reheating is not recommended.
