A crisp and refreshing salad featuring fresh lettuce, zesty lemon, and rich Parmesan cheese for a perfect side dish.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Crisp lettuce (use romaine or butter lettuce for extra tenderness)
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (opt for fresh-grated for better flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best for maximum zest)
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil (use extra virgin for richer taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (adjust according to preference)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Combine the lettuce and grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing in a separate bowl.

  5. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for a brighter taste. Serve the salad right after mixing to retain crispness.
