Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed baby greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 whole Radishes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
Peel the cucumber, slice it lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and cut into thin half-moon slices.
Thinly slice the red onion and submerge in cold water for 5 minutes to soften their flavor. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the radishes into rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined to create the vinaigrette dressing. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed baby greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, radish slices, and drained red onion. Toss gently to mix.
Drizzle the vinaigrette dressing over the salad and toss again to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley on top as a garnish before serving.
Divide the salad into individual bowls or plates and serve promptly to maintain freshness and crispness.
