Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water and spin dry using a salad spinner. Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and slice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and grate the carrot.

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, grated carrot, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped walnuts. Toss gently to combine.

Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl or jar, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined or shake in a jar until emulsified.

  2. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the honey balsamic vinaigrette over the prepared salad. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
