To make the dressing, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully emulsified.
Drizzle the lemonade honey dressing over the salad just before serving. Start with half the dressing, then add more to taste as needed.
Toss the salad gently to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing.
Divide the salad into individual bowls or plates and serve immediately. Enjoy!
