Ingredients

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), chopped

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by washing all the vegetables. Rinse the mixed greens under cold water and dry them well using a salad spinner or patting them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped bell pepper, and sliced red onion.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl and gently toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Carefully fold in the avocado slices and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped almonds on top for added texture and flavor.

Serve the salad immediately for the freshest flavors, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
