What Is This Salad Like
- Difficulty – This is a very easy salad to make. It requires few ingredients and takes only about 15 minutes to put together.
- Taste – A very fresh and light flavour. The crisp little tomatoes with salty feta go so well together. And the hint of fresh mint really gives the salad a fresh taste.
- Serving – This salad will make four servings as a side dish. Keep in mind, you can easily adjust the serving size in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Ingredients
- Salad leaves – I just used mixed arugula leaves and watercress.
- Onion – A small thinly sliced red onion adds a nice punch to the salad.
- Cherry tomatoes – I used cherry/grape tomatoes. They were small, firm and went great in the salad.
- Feta cheese – Try to use real feta for the best flavour.
- Mint leaves – Mint leaves add so much flavour to finishing off this salad. So don’t miss out!
- Dressing – I kept it really simple with just extra virgin olive oil and coarse salt.
NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.
Instructions
- Arrange salad ingredients – On a large salad plate or bowl or plate combine the mixed salad greens, red onion, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and mint leaves. Toss to combine.
- Season and serve – Just before serving sprinkle over the coarse sea salt and drizzle over the olive salt. Serve with crusty bread for a great starter.
Recipe Notes
- Use fresh ingredients – Because this is a fresh summer salad, I recommend using very fresh and crisp vegetables.
- Serve fresh – This salad is best served as soon as you make it.
Substutions
- Cherry Tomatoes – You can use any ripe small tomatoes for this recipe. Just make sure if you are using a bigger tomato, you cut them in small pieces for the salad.
- Red onions – While these are the best choice for the salad, you can also use green onions or white onions.
Serving
- Chicken & Turkey – Serve this up with the Green Olive Chicken or the Roasted Spatchcock Chicken would be great.
- Fish & Seafood – Why not serve it alongside the Lemon Crusted Baked Cod or the Pan Fried Hake.
- Beef & Pork – Serve it with the Moroccan Spiced Pork Kebabs or the Barbecue Pork Tenderloin.
