- 1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head romaine lettuce, cut or torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup croutons
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 1/4 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced

- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, croutons, cheese, onion and jalapeño peppers.

Chef’s Note: For a bright flavor twist, substitute lime juice for the lemon juice. Or make the salad more substantial by adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon.
