Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed seasonal greens.

  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. Finally, thinly slice the red onion and add it to the mixture.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Use tongs to gently toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

  5. 5

    Serve

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