Salad Ingredients
- 2 large heads of romaine lettuce
- 1-2 ripe avocados
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 yellow or red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- Optional: Croutons for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce: Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Rinse thoroughly and dry using a salad spinner to remove excess water. Transfer the lettuce to a large serving bowl.
- Add the Vegetables: Slice the tomatoes, bell pepper, and avocados evenly. Add these sliced vegetables to the bowl with the lettuce.
- Incorporate Onion and Feta: Finely chop the red onion and sprinkle it over the salad. Also, add the crumbled feta cheese and optional croutons to the bowl for added texture and flavor.
- Dress and Toss: Just before serving, drizzle the Caesar dressing over the entire salad. Toss gently to evenly coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to maintain texture and avoid mushiness in the salad.
- Use your favorite Caesar dressing, or homemade for extra freshness and control over ingredients.
- Include croutons if desired for a crunchy contrast.
- This salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent wilted lettuce or soggy avocado.
