1
Wash and Dry the Greens
Begin by rinsing the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water. Use a salad spinner to dry them completely or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the large tomato, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, peel the carrot and shred it using a grater or cut it into thin strips, and slice the red onion thinly.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a large salad bowl, add the dried mixed greens. Then top with the diced tomato, sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, and sliced red onion.
4
Make the Dressing (Optional)
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5
Serve
Drizzle the dressing over the salad if using, toss gently to combine, and serve immediately.
