A refreshing Mediterranean-inspired salad bursting with fresh herbs and vibrant vegetables.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly washed and dried for the best texture.
Slice the cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, and celery into thin pieces and add them to the bowl.
Use a sharp knife to achieve even slices for a professional look.
Chop the parsley, mint, and basil finely and sprinkle them over the vegetables.
Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor; adjust the quantity to your taste.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, tarragon, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep it fresh.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and black olives.
For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy.
Pair with a crusty bread or grilled protein for a complete meal.
