In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil, the juice and zest of one fresh lemon, 1 tablespoon of honey, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue whisking until emulsified, about 1-2 minutes.

In a large salad bowl, add 6 cups of chopped romaine lettuce followed by ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup of thin-sliced red onion, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Toss gently to mix.

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss the ingredients together for about 30 seconds.

Plate the salad immediately to preserve freshness and sprinkle more grated Parmesan on top before serving.
