Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the balsamic glaze. Pour 0.5 cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the vinegar to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it reduces by half and becomes syrupy. Stir occasionally. Set aside to cool.
While the glaze is cooling, prepare the salad ingredients.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, slice it thinly, and add it to the salad bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into cubes and add to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Thinly slice 0.25 of a medium red onion and sprinkle over the salad.
Add 0.5 cup of feta cheese crumbles to the salad.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salad, then season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Once the balsamic glaze has cooled, drizzle it liberally over the salad.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and evenly distribute the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, flavorful, and low-carb salad.
