Tossed Garden Salad
Description
The Tossed Garden Salad blends fresh garden vegetables with a vibrant dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, Parmesan cheese, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice, enhanced by parsley, garlic, and Italian seasoning. The mixture of mixed greens, quartered tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and carrots, thinly sliced red onions, crumbled feta, and seasoned croutons delivers a variety of textures from crisp and crunchy to creamy. The dressing, prepared in a food processor for thorough emulsification, ties the ingredients together with a balanced, tangy flavor. Lightly tossing the salad and letting it rest for five minutes before serving helps the flavors meld without wilting the greens. This salad complements many dishes or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing option for a quick meal or side dish.
