Rinse mixed salad greens thoroughly in cold water and spin or pat dry until crisp. Place 6 cups of greens into a large salad bowl.

Prepare vegetables

If using half an English cucumber (about 1/2 cup sliced), trim the ends and slice into half-moons or thin rounds. Add to the bowl with the greens.

Cucumber

Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl.

Tomatoes

Thinly slice 1/4 cup of red onion into rings or half-rings. If you want a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and add to the salad.

Onion

Peel and julienne 1/2 cup of carrot (or use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons). Add to the bowl.

Carrot

If using an avocado, halve, pit, peel and dice 1 avocado. Toss gently with the other salad ingredients just before serving to avoid browning.

Avocado (optional)

Sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta and 1/4 cup toasted walnut pieces or pine nuts over the top just before serving.

Cheese and nuts (optional)

In a small bowl or jar, add 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup), 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

Combine ingredients

Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until the dressing is combined and slightly thickened, or close the jar and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon as desired.

Emulsify

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving — start with about half the dressing, toss gently to coat, then add more as needed to taste (about 2–3 tbsp of dressing per 4 servings total).
