Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Walnuts
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, pour in the balsamic vinegar and place over medium heat. Allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
While the balsamic glaze is reducing, prepare the vegetables. Start by washing the mixed salad greens thoroughly and drying them with a salad spinner or paper towel.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin wedges.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado slices, cucumber rounds, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Add the crumbled feta cheese and walnuts over the top.
Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients well.
Just before serving, drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the salad for a delightful finish.
Serve immediately, enjoy your keto mixed green salad with a burst of flavors from the fresh ingredients and delectable balsamic glaze!
