For the salad:

  • Assemble the salad by dividing the lettuce among four dinner plates. Evenly top with, cucumber slices, red onion, tomatoes, cannellini beans, and cheese. Lay sliced meat across each salad and drizzle with Lemon Vinaigrette. Garnish with parsley.

For the vinaigrette:

  • In a screw top jar, combine the olive oil, dijon mustard, lemon juice and minced garlic. Cover and shake well. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (makes about 1/2 cup). Drizzle over salad.
