    In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed salad greens, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 medium cucumber sliced into thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Add Additional Ingredients

    Thinly slice 1 small red onion and add it to the bowl. Also, dice 1 medium avocado and gently fold it in to avoid mashing.

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of champagne vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of honey until well combined.

  2. 4

    Emulsify the Dressing

    Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsion.

  3. 5

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine Salad and Vinaigrette

    Pour the prepared champagne Parmesan vinaigrette over the salad mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the mixed greens salad immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
