In a small bowl or a jar, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6
