I first came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover vegetables I had in my fridge. I had some romaine lettuce, Brussels sprouts, celery, almonds, red onion, and a lemon. I threw them all together in a bowl with some olive oil and apple cider vinegar, and the results were amazing! The salad was so light and refreshing, and it was packed with flavor. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
