Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixed Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens. Make sure they are rinsed and dried thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Slice the Cucumbers

    Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl with the mixed greens.

  3. 3

    Add Roasted Tomatoes

    If you haven't prepared roasted tomatoes yet, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice tomatoes in half, place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Once done, let them cool slightly and then add them to the salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Grill the Red Onion

    Slice the red onion into thick rings. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the onion rings for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks. Once done, chop them into smaller pieces and add to the salad.

  5. 5

    Add Blue Cheese

    Crumble the blue cheese over the top of the salad ingredients in the bowl.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl or jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Whisk or shake until well combined.

  2. 7

    Season the Dressing

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly and to coat them with the dressing.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Divide the salad into serving plates or bowls and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
