Lemon Parmesan Salad 🍋🥬🥑

Crispy Romaine + Creamy Avocado + Fresh Lemon Olive Oil Dressing = Simply Perfection 💯

Whoever said “Simple is Best” was talking about THIS lemon parm salad for sure!

It’s such a simple one, yet it’s also super tasty!

The crisp fresh Romaine, combined with the buttery avocado, a sprinkle of shredded Parm, then drizzled in a burst of lemon and a pinch of chili flakes…Light and

Fresh, plus super satisfying!

➡️ Rachel’s Tips:

Make SURE that you actually love the taste of the olive oil that you use for your salads such as this, because your salad will come out tasting very much like the oil you use. They each have their own unique flavor.

The fresh lemon zest really elevates your salad game! Don’t skip it!

🍋 ALWAYS use freshly-squeezed lemon juice from an actual fresh lemon. Bottled lemon juice from the store will give your salad a strange metallic or overly acidic taste. We want this to taste super bright and fresh.

4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium romaine hearts, rinsed well
  • 1 large Hass avocado, diced
  • 2 large organic lemons, juice, and zest
  • 1 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Halve your romaine lengthwise, lay on your cutting board cut-side down, and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Place your chopped lettuce in a large salad bowl.

Add the chopped avocado then drizzle with the fresh lemon juice.

Add in the fresh lemon zest, shaved parmesan cheese, and olive oil.

Season with sea salt and pepper to your taste.

Toss to combine and serve!

Enjoy!
