Instructions
Prepare the Salad Base
- Start by washing and drying your mixed salad greens thoroughly to avoid a soggy salad. Place the greens in a large salad bowl. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and diced cucumber on top.
Chop the Fresh Herbs and Green Onions
- Chop the parsley, basil, chives, and green onions finely. Sprinkle them evenly over the salad greens and vegetables.
Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the Salad
- Pour the dressing over the salad. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are coated evenly with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the avocado while tossing.
Add Protein (Optional)
- If you want to turn this salad into a heartier meal, add the sliced grilled chicken on top.
Notes
- Store salad and dressing separately to keep greens fresh and avoid sogginess.
- Dice avocado just before tossing to prevent browning.
- Substitute grilled chicken with shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
- Add toasted nuts or crumbled cheese for extra texture and flavor.
- Make the dressing up to 3 days ahead and whisk before use.
