1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water and spin dry using a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Place in a large salad bowl.
2
Slice the Cucumbers
Trim the ends of the cucumber, then slice it into thin rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the mixed greens.
3
Chop the Tomatoes
Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds if desired. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
4
Add Shredded Carrots
Sprinkle the shredded carrots over the salad mixture in the bowl.
5
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dark balsamic vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Start with half a cup and add more to taste.
6
Toss and Serve
Gently toss the salad with clean hands or salad tongs until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately.
