Directions

Step 1

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion rings. Toss gently to combine.

Add the low-fat blue cheese crumbles into the dressing and fold them in gently to incorporate without breaking down the cheese too much.

Step 4

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.

Step 5

Toss the salad gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Divide the salad among four serving plates.

Step 7

Sprinkle chopped chives over the top of each plated salad for a pop of color and mild oniony flavor.

Serve immediately as a starter or a refreshing side dish.
