Step 1
Start by combining the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and parsley in a big bowl. Sprinkle in some salt to taste. Pour the lemon juice and olive oil over the veggies, then give everything a good toss to mix it all together. Finally, add the sour cream and gently stir until the salad is nicely coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve immediately.

How to serve
This vegetable medley pairs well with rye bread or boiled potatoes. It can be served as a side dish alongside grilled meats or enjoyed on its own for a light, vegetarian meal. A dollop of sour cream on top adds a nice creaminess.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the vegetables. The flavors often improve after a day as they have time to meld.
