Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and drying the mixed salad greens thoroughly, then place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and chop the red onion finely. Peel and slice the avocado just before adding to prevent browning.

Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the salad greens. Cube the avocado and gently add it to the salad.

Step 4

Crumble feta cheese over the top of the salad and set aside.

Step 5

To prepare the lemon vinaigrette, finely mince the garlic clove.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or honey to balance the flavors as preferred.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately for a fresh and invigorating vegetarian dish.
