Begin by prepping the vegetables for the salad. Start by washing and chopping the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion. Place the chopped vegetables into a large bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped parsley and basil to the dressing and whisk until everything is well combined.

Pour the dressing over the salad and mix until everything is evenly coated. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the salad immediately, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
