Description

Mixed baby greens in a balsamic dressing are 'massaged' with cucumbers, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and Feta cheese to make a refreshing, Mediterranean-flavored salad.

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) bag mixed baby salad greens
1 English cucumber, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10 ounce) basket cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1 Place the salad greens in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and Feta cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss to blend. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil.
2 Using clean hands (all rings removed), rub the salad ingredients together for 2 minutes to thoroughly work the oil, vinegar, and seasonings into the greens.
