Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add the 4 cups of organic mixed greens. Make sure to wash and dry the greens thoroughly before adding them to the bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water, then slice them in half. Add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the mixed greens.

  3. 3

    Slice the Onion

    Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Measure out 0.5 cup of sliced red onion and add it to the salad bowl.

Vinaigrette Preparation

    Combine Vinaigrette Ingredients

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of olive oil, 0.25 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently to combine, ensuring that all the greens and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
