Ingredients:

3 cups lettuce
140g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1.27g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tsp garlic
2.80g
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lettuce:
- Rinse the lettuce thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pat the lettuce dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Tear or chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
2. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Mix well until the dressing is emulsified (well combined).
3. Add Garlic:
- Finely mince 1 teaspoon of garlic. Ensure the pieces are small so they can evenly distribute throughout the salad.
- Add the minced garlic to the dressing and mix thoroughly.
4. Toss the Salad:
- Pour the dressing over the prepared lettuce.
- Gently toss the lettuce and dressing together using salad tongs or clean hands, ensuring the lettuce is evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Add Parmesan:
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the salad.
- Give the salad one final gentle toss to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the salad.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Tips:

- Use fresh, crisp lettuce for the best texture and flavor.

- You can substitute romaine, iceberg, or mixed greens based on your preference.

- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and garlic to match your taste buds.

- Toss the salad gently to avoid bruising the lettuce leaves.

- For an added crunch, you can include some croutons or nuts.

- Consider adding a few cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices for extra freshness and color.
