    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes (halved), cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.

Adding Toppings

Making the Dressing

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
