Ingredients
Base Salad Ingredients:
- 8 cups Mixed greens such as romaine, arugula, spinach, or baby kale
- 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Cucumber
- 1/2 cup Red onion optional
- 1/2 cup Carrot ribbons or slices
Dressing Recipe:
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup oil - I use extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and Prep the Veggies: Start by thoroughly washing your greens and any veggies you’re using (like tomatoes, cucumber, and carrots). Pat the greens dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Chop and Slice: Slice your cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and the red onion into thin slices (if using). If you’re adding carrots, peel them and slice them into thin ribbons or rounds.
- Assemble the Salad: Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl. Add the sliced veggies and toss gently.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.
- Toss and Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture!
