Salad Ingredients
  • 6 cups spring mix lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 large English cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 small purple onion, chopped
  • 1 avocado, peeled and chopped Slice just before serving to prevent browning
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese Can be substituted with crumbled goat cheese or dairy-free cheese
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinaigrette Keep separate until ready to serve for freshness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine spring mix lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, chopped onion, avocado pieces, and crumbled feta cheese.
  2. Drizzle the red wine vinaigrette over the top of the salad ingredients.
  3. Gently toss to combine without crushing the greens.
  4. Season to taste with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Serve immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container for later.

Notes

For best results, make the salad fresh when you're ready to serve to maintain crispiness. Pair with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
