Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Lettuce (Can substitute with kale or spinach.)
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (Halved for sweetness.)
  • 1 cup Cucumber (Diced; zucchini can be substituted.)
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion (Soaked in water for milder flavor.)
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (For creaminess; can omit for vegan.)
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (Can substitute with avocado oil.)
  • 1 medium Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed.)
  • 1 pinch Salt (Essential for flavor.)
  • 1 pinch Pepper (Essential for flavor.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies: Rinse your lettuce (or chosen greens) under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat it dry with a clean towel. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
  2. Chop the Cherry Tomatoes: Halve the cherry tomatoes with a sharp knife, letting their juicy sweetness flow out. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
  3. Dice the Cucumber: Take your cucumber and cut it into small, even-sized dice. This will give a lovely crunch and freshness to every bite. Toss this into the salad bowl.
  4. Soak and Slice the Red Onion: To remove some of the bite from the red onion, soak half of it in cold water for about 5 minutes. Once it’s milder, thinly slice it. Add these slices to your salad for a subtle flavor boost.
  5. Crumble the Feta Cheese: If you’re using feta cheese, crumble it over the salad for that creamy texture. Remember, you can skip this step if you’re looking for a vegan option.
  6. Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle it over your salad, ensuring everything gets a good coating of that zesty goodness.
  7. Toss and Serve: Gently toss all the ingredients together with salad tongs or two forks, ensuring the vegetables are well combined and coated with the dressing. Voilà! Your Vibrant Spring Chopped Salad is ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

For an extra flavor kick, try adding herbs like dill or parsley. Storage: If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
