Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
