Summer House Salad
This summer house salad is loaded with crunchy fresh veggies, fresh herbs, feta cheese and drizzled with a mint vinaigrette.
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 cups spring greens
- 3 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 2 radishes, sliced
- 2 ears of sweet corn, kernels sliced from cob (I like to keep them raw!)
- 1 mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped or sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup sweet peas
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs, like mint, basil and chives, for sprinkling
- salt and pepper
herb vinaigrette
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- salt and pepper
- pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place your greens in a large bowl and toss with salt and pepper. Add on your tomatoes, radish slices, corn, mango, avocado, red onion, peas, feta and mint. Toss everything well. Drizzle with the herb vinaigrette and serve!
- As a note, you can prep this ahead of time by washing and chopping your vegetables then storing them separately. Wait to add the avocado and feta until serving.
herb vinaigrette
- In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients. Blend until combined and smooth (some pieces of the herbs may remain). Leftovers stay great in the fridge for a few days! Store it in a sealed container.
