Method

Preparing the Salad

1

Wash and Prepare Greens

Thoroughly wash the mixed salad greens under cold water. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Place the greens in a large salad bowl.

2

Add Vegetables

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and then slice it into half-moons. Add the cucumber to the salad bowl. Peel and julienne the carrot, then add it to the bowl. Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.

3

Toss the Salad

Gently toss all the ingredients in the salad bowl until evenly mixed.

Making the Dressing

4

Combine Ingredients

In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

5

Mix Well

Whisk together with a fork or shake the jar until all ingredients are well combined and emulsified.

6

Dress the Salad

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the salad lightly with the dressing.
