  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the prepared salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and grated carrot.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Mix Dressing Ingredients

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

Serving

  1. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

  2. 6
