Easy Homemade Salad Recipe with Fresh Ingredients

A crisp, refreshing homemade salad tossed with fresh vegetables and a tangy garlic-honey vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces and add to a large salad bowl.
  2. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, and diced avocado to the bowl.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the vegetables.
  4. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Notes

For best results, dress the salad right before serving to keep the greens crisp. Store any leftover dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
