Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups mixed baby greens
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup feta cheese (optional)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed baby greens and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. If the skin is thick, feel free to peel it. Add the slices to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin strips and gently layer them on the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and scatter the slices over the greens.
Rinse the kalamata olives (if packed in brine) and add them to the mix.
If using, crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it on top of the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad just before serving.
Toss gently to combine, ensuring the avocado and other delicate ingredients remain intact.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean!
