Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, kale, etc.)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the greens.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Toss the salad gently using tongs or two large forks to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light entree. Enjoy!
