There is something truly special about shopping at the farmers market when summer produce is at its peak. I love grabbing whatever looks brightest and freshest to toss into a big bowl for an easy lunch or dinner side.

This salad is all about celebrating simple ingredients. My best tip is to wash and dry your greens really well before assembling so your dressing sticks perfectly to every leaf.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and dry your greens thoroughly, then place them into a large serving bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion on top of the greens.

  3. 3

    In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey until well combined.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before you are ready to serve.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Toss gently and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store your greens in a sealed container with a paper towel to keep them crisp for longer. You can also add grilled chicken or chickpeas if you want to make this a more filling main dish.
