Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss lightly to distribute the vegetables evenly.
  2. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad, adding a creamy element that brings everything together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The dressing adds a burst of flavor to the salad.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the assembled salad. Toss gently to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature. For an added touch, consider garnishing with freshly chopped herbs like basil or parsley.

Notes

You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese or a dairy-free cheese for different flavor profiles. Feel free to experiment with different greens and add proteins for a heartier meal.
