    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Peel and shred the carrots. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

    In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. If using a jar, seal it and shake vigorously until well combined. If using a bowl, whisk until the ingredients are emulsified.
