Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

Cut the Cherry Tomatoes
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. This will help them mix well with the greens and distribute their flavor throughout the salad.

Prepare the Cucumber
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds or half-moons for easier eating. You can also dice it into small cubes if you prefer.

In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and croutons. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure all the greens and vegetables are coated with the dressing.
