Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens. Make sure to rinse and dry the greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, then add to the salad. Finely chop the red onion and mix it in as well.

  3. 3

    Add Feta Cheese

    Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad, distributing it evenly.

  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

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and ensure everything is coated with the dressing.

  6. 6

    Garnish with Fresh Basil

    Finely chop the fresh basil and sprinkle it over the salad as a final touch before serving.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
