Ingredients:

1 cup of mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula)
1 medium cucumber, diced
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
A handful of fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or dill), chopped
Directions:

Start by washing and drying the mixed greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Dice the cucumber, chop the bell pepper, and thinly slice the onion. Add all the vegetables to the bowl with the greens.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the mix.
Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor and a vibrant touch.
Serving and Storage Tips:

Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste. It pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish, or as a standalone light meal.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. However, the salad is best when fresh as the dressing may wilt the greens if left too long.
