Ultimate Garden Salad Recipe

The Ultimate Garden Salad features a mix of leafy greens, avocado, cucumber, tomato, and fresh herbs, dressed with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. This combination results in a fresh, crisp salad with varied textures and mild herbaceous notes, making it a flexible side or light meal base.

Description

This salad is assembled by preparing a dressing from olive oil, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper whisked together for a balanced, acidic dressing. Mixed greens form the base, topped with slices of avocado, cucumber, tomato, and thinly sliced green onions. Fresh dill or other herbs add brightness and complexity.

The dressing is added just before serving and tossed with the ingredients to combine and coat evenly, maintaining crisp textures and fresh flavors. The avocado adds creaminess complementing the crunch of other vegetables.

This garden salad is easy to customize with seasonal vegetables and herbs and can be served as a starter or a side dish accompanying a variety of main courses.
