A Refreshing Basic Salad

This salad is a symphony of color and texture, perfect for a light and refreshing meal. Crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and vibrant radishes are balanced by the slightly bitter romaine lettuce and the sweet crunch of green apple (optional). Fresh herbs like parsley and mint add a touch of brightness, while the homemade apple cider vinaigrette ties everything together with a tangy sweetness.
