Ingredients

• 6 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 1 large Avocado
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, add the 0.5 cup of balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Finely mince 1 garlic clove and add it to the pan.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, or until it has reduced by half and become slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 3

While the glaze is cooling, prepare the salad ingredients. Rinse and dry 6 cups of mixed salad greens, and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Slice 1 cup of cherry tomatoes in half, and thinly slice 0.5 of a small red onion.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber, if desired, and slice it into thin rounds.

Step 6

Cut a large avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut it into cubes.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and avocado cubes to the bowl with the salad greens.

Step 8

Once the balsamic glaze has cooled, drizzle it over the salad. Season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 9

Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients well and coat the greens with the glaze.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or a main course.
