Method

Preparing Salad Ingredients

  1. 1

    Wash Salad Greens

    Rinse the mixed salad greens under cold water to remove any dirt or residue. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

    Chop Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Thinly slice the red onion.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Combine Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the washed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and sliced red onion.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle feta cheese, olives, and sunflower seeds over the salad mixture.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Prepare Dressing

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

Finishing the Salad

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately as a side dish, garnishing with additional feta or seeds if desired.
