Everyday Italian Salad

Ingredients

• 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup black olives, pitted and halved
• 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Whisk the dressing ingredients in a bowl, or seal them in a mason jar and shake, until everything comes together. Taste, then stir in additional sweetener if you want it. Use it right away, or store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
2. Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top, toss until everything is nicely coated, then finish with extra Parmesan cheese and serve.
