Begin by rinsing one head of romaine lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat it dry, chop into bite-sized pieces, and place in a large salad bowl.

Add shredded carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Optionally peel cucumber for texture. Thinly slice a quarter of a red onion and sprinkle on top.

Gently toss all the ingredients together using tongs or your hands, ensuring even distribution.

Drizzle honey lime vinaigrette over the salad, starting with about a quarter cup, and toss again to coat evenly.

Serve immediately or store components separately until just before serving.
