When I look back at my time at the Fresh Air Retreat in Atlanta, I am always reminded of the simple, fresh food we shared. This salad is inspired by the vibrant ingredients we enjoyed while connecting with friends and great brands.

It is truly the perfect dish when you want something light but filling. If you want to make this even better, try using local greens from your farmers market for the best flavor.

Ingredients

4 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Wash the greens and spin them dry so your dressing sticks well.
2
Combine the greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a large bowl.
3
Whisk the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small jar.
4
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before you are ready to serve.
5
Top with the crumbled feta cheese and toss everything gently.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing in a separate container if you are not serving the salad immediately. This keeps the greens crisp and fresh for longer. You can also add grilled chicken or chickpeas if you want to turn this into a heartier main meal.
