Ingredients

  • 6 cups mixed greens, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers (optional)
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Herbs de Provence
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl or on a serving platter to form the base.
  2. Dice the tomato, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.
  3. Scatter the chopped vegetables over the greens, followed by the Kalamata olives and pepperoncini if using.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the salad.
  5. In a small jar or bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, Herbs de Provence, sugar, and Dijon mustard.
  6. Shake or whisk the dressing vigorously until emulsified and smooth.
  7. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
  8. Gently toss everything together to coat and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use romaine, spinach, or arugula instead of mixed greens for variety.
  • Substitute goat cheese or sharp white cheddar if feta is unavailable.
  • Replace Kalamata olives with green olives or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to make it a complete meal.
  • Toss in quinoa or couscous for extra nutrition and texture.
  • Store components separately and dress just before serving to avoid sogginess.
