Whisk the rest of the ingredients, so everything is fully combined.

Chop the Romaine hearts into fourths the long way. Then turn them and chop them small.
2 romaine hearts
Chop the remaining vegetables to small, bite sized pieces. The goal here is for all the vegetables (as well as the lettuce) to be uniform in size.
1 red bell pepper, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/2 medium red onion, 2 celery ribs, 2 small carrots, 1/2 English cucumber
Toss the ingredients for the salad on the side. Serve the dressing on the side.
