Preparing the Salad Base
Wash and Chop
Thoroughly wash the mixed greens under cold water. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel. Chop the greens into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
Prepare Vegetables
Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and then slice into half-moons. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Adding Toppings
Prepare Toppings
Crumble the feta cheese. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it into thin wedges. If using whole olives, slice them in half.
Combine Toppings
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, olives, avocado, and sunflower seeds.
Making the Dressing
Whisk Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Assembling the Salad
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl.
Toss and Serve
Toss the salad gently until all ingredients are coated with the dressing. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
