Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the salad ingredients. Rinse the mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold water and spin or pat dry with a clean towel, then place them in a large bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the greens.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds and add to the salad.
Crumble the goat cheese into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.
Roughly chop the almonds and slice the red onion thinly, then add both to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the honey balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve the salad immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
