Preparation time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

- 1 head of lettuce
- 2 tomatoes
- ½ red bell pepper
- 2 cucumbers
- 4-5 radishes
- 200g Delaco creamy cheese

For the dressing:

- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of pepper

Preparation steps

1. Preparing the vegetables
Start by tearing the lettuce leaves. It's important to wash them one by one to avoid damaging them. Rinse each leaf under cold running water, then drain them well to remove excess water. This step will help keep the salad crisp and fresh.

2. Slicing the tomatoes
Tomatoes are an essential ingredient that adds color and sweetness to the salad. Wash them thoroughly, then slice them thinly. Be sure to use a sharp knife to avoid crushing the tomatoes.

3. Preparing the bell pepper
Wash the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. The bell pepper not only adds a pop of color but also a slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

4. Slicing the cucumbers
Peel the cucumbers (if preferred) and cut them in half lengthwise, then slice them. Cucumbers add a crunchy texture to the salad, making it a refreshing ingredient.

5. Decorating the radishes
Radishes are not only delicious but also visually appealing. Wash them, peel them, and cut them into flower shapes. This cutting technique not only enhances the salad's appearance but also adds a slight spiciness.

6. Assembling the salad
In a large bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables: torn lettuce leaves, tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumbers, and radishes. Gently toss to mix the ingredients, then add the pieces of Delaco creamy cheese. The creamy cheese will add a rich and refined flavor to the salad.

7. Preparing the dressing
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. It's essential to mix well to ensure the ingredients are fully combined. A well-prepared dressing will highlight the flavors of the vegetables.

8. Serving the salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients. The salad is now ready to serve! It can be enjoyed as a light appetizer or as a side dish alongside a main course.
