Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed greens (spring mix or baby greens)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 0.5 cup Cilantro lime dressing
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds, and then cut each round in half to form half-moons.
Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into rings or half rings. If desired, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce pungency, then drain well.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin slices or small chunks. Set aside for topping the salad.
In the bowl with the mixed greens, add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion. Toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese on top of the salad mix, followed by the toasted pepitas for crunch.
Distribute the avocado slices or chunks evenly over the salad.
Drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the salad, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more to taste, ensuring that all the ingredients are lightly coated.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper. Toss gently again, ensuring even distribution of the dressing and seasonings.
Serve immediately as a fresh side dish or as a light main course.
