House Salad Ingredients

Method

House Salad Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and pesticides. Spin or gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Chop the Ingredients

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Thinly slice the red onion, and shred or julienne the carrot.

  3. 3

    Combine the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, add the washed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and shredded carrots. If using, crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the top.

  4. 4

    Make the Dressing

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

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and ensure the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to individual plates or serve directly from the bowl. Enjoy your fresh house salad!
