In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the juice and zest of one lemon, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds until emulsified. Set this dressing aside.

In a large salad bowl, add 4 cups of chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup of sliced red onion, and 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Mix the ingredients for a colorful base.

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and toss the salad gently to combine.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Serve immediately on individual plates or in the large bowl to keep it fresh.
