Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Romaine: Trim the root end of the romaine lettuce and discard. Thinly slice the leaves into ribbons, about 1/8-inch thick, discarding any tough pieces of the core. Transfer the sliced romaine to a large bowl. (5 minutes)
02
StepDress the Salad: In the bowl with the romaine, drizzle the olive oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and sprinkle black pepper over the lettuce. Toss gently to ensure all the romaine ribbons are lightly coated with the dressing. (2 minutes)
03
StepRest and Marinate: Allow the salad to rest for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the romaine to soften slightly. (10 minutes)
04
StepSeason and Serve: Immediately before serving, sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the salad. Toss gently one last time to distribute the salt evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavor and delightful crunch of the salt. (3 minutes)
