Instructions
Cut half a cucumber into wedges, leaving the seeds in if desired.
Dica: There is no need to remove the cucumber seeds.
Cut approximately ten cherry (or grape) tomatoes in half.
Mince about a quarter of a red onion into thin slices or wedges.
Dica: Adjust the amount of onion according to your flavor preference.
Prepare the dressing by combining two tablespoons of mustard, one tablespoon of honey, about three tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of half a squeezed lemon.
Dica: Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor in the dressing.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper (or red pepper flakes, if you like it spicier).
Dica: Those who don't like spice can opt not to add it.
Vigorously whisk the dressing ingredients together with a whisk (or spoon) until they are emulsified.
Dica: Whisking helps emulsify the dressing, but a spoon will also work.
Tear half a head of lettuce into smaller pieces using your hands, avoiding the use of a knife to preserve freshness.
Dica: Tearing lettuce by hand prevents oxidation and keeps it fresh longer.
Arrange the torn lettuce on the serving plate.
Scatter the cucumber and red onion over the lettuce leaves.
Distribute the cut tomatoes over the salad to add color.
Dica: If you don't have grape tomatoes, you can use standard tomatoes.
Drizzle the assembled salad with a few spoonfuls of the prepared special dressing.
Dica: For an everyday approach, mix all ingredients in a bowl and add the dressing, mixing well before serving.
Optionally, add a little Gorgonzola cheese (blue cheese) to taste for an extra flavor boost.
Dica: Use Gorgonzola sparingly, as its flavor is strong; getting the amount right is crucial for those who are just beginning to appreciate it.
