Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Thoroughly wash and dry the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, parsley, and mint.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Drying your greens and vegetables completely is crucial to prevent a watery dressing and ensure it adheres properly, enhancing flavor.

Yaklaşık 2 dk.

Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into uniform, small pieces.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: For a less watery salad, you can deseed the tomatoes before dicing.

Thinly slice the red onion and radishes.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Use a mandoline for ultra-thin, consistent slices of red onion and radish, which improves texture and distributes flavor evenly.

Yaklaşık 1 dk.

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

- 9
Whisk the dressing ingredients vigorously until well emulsified and thoroughly combined.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Taste the dressing at this stage and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference before adding it to the salad.

Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the vegetables and herbs in the large salad bowl.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Gently toss the salad using salad servers or clean hands until all ingredients are uniformly coated with the dressing.

Tazeliğini koruyun
This vibrant salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, tagines, or as part of a larger mezze spread. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or a few crumbled feta cheese pieces (if not strictly vegan). A light, crisp white wine or mint tea would complement this dish beautifully.
Store any leftover 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 is not suitable for reheating.
