This Ultimate Garden Salad is a fresh, vibrant medley of mixed greens, creamy avocado, crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and zesty green onions, all tossed with a simple and tangy olive oil and vinegar dressing infused with fresh dill. Perfect as a light lunch or a side dish, this salad is quick to prepare and packed with nutritious ingredients.

Ingredients

For the Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or sunflower oil)
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Salad

  • 1 lb mixed greens
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 cup tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill (or other fresh herbs)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, ground black pepper, and salt until well blended. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Slice the avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green onions as indicated, and chop the fresh dill or your chosen herbs.
  3. Arrange Salad: Place the mixed greens at the bottom of a large salad bowl. Top evenly with the sliced avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, and sprinkle the fresh dill over the top.
  4. Drizzle & Serve: Just before serving, drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like parsley or basil if dill is not available for different flavor profiles.
  • For added crunch, consider sprinkling toasted nuts or seeds on top.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours without dressing.
  • To keep avocado from browning, add it just before serving and toss gently.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to personal taste preferences.
