Step 1
Wash and dry the lettuce, then tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Cut the broccoli into small florets. If you prefer it tender, blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water. Otherwise, leave raw for extra crunch.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce and broccoli.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, 3 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately.
Step 6
Optional: add fresh herbs like parsley or basil if you have them.
