Ingredients

Scale

For the salad:

  • 5 cups spring mix greens

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

For the balsamic honey dressing:

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large salad bowl, combine the spring mix, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, feta, and nuts.

  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking until emulsified.

  3. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.

  • For a vegan version, skip the feta or use a plant-based alternative and ensure honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave.

  • Dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
