Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens (baby spinach, arugula, and romaine)
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 whole Red onion
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold running water. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry the greens. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh from the peel. Cut the avocado into thin slices or cubes, according to preference.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber thinly. Set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion into rings. You will need about 1/4 of the onion.
Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the classic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the greens are evenly coated.
Serve immediately as a refreshing keto-friendly side or main dish.
