Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
Dressing
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, sliced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together fresh lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until the dressing emulsifies and is well combined.
- Add Avocado and Dress Salad: Just before serving, gently fold the diced ripe avocado into the salad bowl to avoid mashing it. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the salad fresh to enjoy the creamy avocado and crisp greens at their best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For added protein, consider topping with grilled chicken, shrimp, or boiled eggs.
- To make this salad vegan, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- For a different citrus flavor, use lime juice instead of lemon juice for a tropical twist.
