Easy green salad with lemon Parmesan dressing.

Ingredients

Full recipe + amounts can be found in the recipe card below. 

  • Lettuce. I love using a variety of lettuces/leaves when making a green salad. Iceberg, butter lettuce, Romaine, gem lettuce, arugula, baby spinach and radicchio are all good options.
  • Cucumber. You could keep this salad a leaf-only salad but I like the crunchy freshness cucumber adds.
  • Olive oil. 
  • Garlic. 
  • Fresh lemon juice. 
  • Parmesan cheese. 
  • Salt and pepper.

Lemon Parmesan dressing.

How to make green salad

  1. Make the dressing: Using a microplane, finely grate garlic and Parmesan into a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  2. Assemble the salad: Halve a large English cucumber then scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon then slice. Place lettuce into a large serving bowl and add the cucumber. Pour over the dressing, toss and serve.

What else can I add to a green salad?

  • Onion. I prefer adding spring/green onion to a green salad.
  • Avocado.
  • Fennel.
  • Celery.
  • Radish.
  • Parmesan shavings.
  • Pine nuts.

Can I make this in advance?

The salad can be assembled (undressed) and kept covered in the fridge for up to 4 hours. The dressing can be made up to a day in advance and kept in the fridge. Dress the salad right before serving.
