Preparation

    Rinse the field greens under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Place them in a large salad bowl.

    Prepare the toppings

    Make the dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Dress the salad
