Ingredients

Salad

1 head of Romaine lettuce washed and torn into pieces
½ small red onion peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
1 cup mini cucumber sliced
¼ cup parsley chopped
2-3 slices frozen garlic toast for homemade croutons

Vinaigrette

3 Tbsp good olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp garlic minced

Instructions

Toast the frozen garlic toast as per the package directions, then toast for 2-3 minutes more so they are crispy. Let cool.
Slice the toasted garlic bread into cubes and set aside.
Combine all the ingredients for the salad except the parsley in a large bowl.
Whisk all the ingredients for the vinaigrette together in a small bowl (or shake in a mason jar) until combined.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad and toss to combine.
Add the homemade croutons and parsley to the top of the salad. Simple addition is a bit of cheese if you have it kicking around, like grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled blue cheese, or cubed cheddar cheese.

Notes

Note: Use the vinaigrette dressing immediately or refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
