Ingredients
  

For the salad
  • 2 cups mixed greens (like spinach, arugula, and kale)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional) Omit for a dairy-free option
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or almonds, chopped Can substitute with pecans or sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup Green Goddess dressing Adjust to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing your mixed greens under cold water. Use a salad spinner to remove excess water and let them dry.
  2. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
  3. Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice one half into wedges or cubes.
Assembly
  1. In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens and then add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and crumbled feta if using.
  2. Drizzle the Green Goddess dressing over the salad.
  3. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or almonds on top.
  4. Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately for the best crunch.

Notes

For the freshest experience, prepare the dressing and toppings just before serving. Avoid pre-dressing the salad to maintain crispness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
