Ingredients
  

For The Salad:

  • 2 Mediterranean cucumbers (or Persian) diced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives sliced
  • 1/2 cup bocconcini cheese diced
  • 1 shallot finely sliced
  • 1 avocado peeled and diced
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce shredded
  • 1/4 cup parsley

For The Dressing:

  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1/2 shallot finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all salad ingredients by chopping into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
  • In a jar or small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients and whisk or shake until emulsified.
  • Taste and adjust with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
  • Add the prepared salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl in the order listed: cucumbers first, then tomatoes, olives, cheese, shallot, avocado, lettuce, parsley. This layering stategy helps ensure even tossing without crushing softer items or making the greens soggy.
  • Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Toss thoroughly so all pieces are well coated and every forkful gets flavor. Serve immediately.
