In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and black olives.
Step 5
In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently until all the ingredients are well coated.
