Method
Mixed Salad
- 1
Prepare produce
Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed salad greens using a salad spinner or towels. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel (if desired) and slice the cucumber into half-moons (about 1/4-inch thick). Core, seed and dice the red bell pepper into small pieces (~1/2-inch). Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and separate into rings. Peel and grate or julienne the carrot.

Assemble salad
Place the dried salad greens into a large salad bowl. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and grated carrot. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, chopped toasted nuts, and chopped fresh herbs over the top. Gently toss once to combine (do not dress yet).

Make vinaigrette
In a small bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice (or vinegar), Dijon mustard, honey (or maple), minced garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk briefly or shake the jar to blend. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking (or add olive oil to the jar and shake vigorously) until the dressing emulsifies and is slightly thickened, about 20–30 seconds.
