instructions
    1

    Start by washing the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. This ensures your salad stays crisp.

    2

    In a large bowl, add 4 cups of mixed greens as the base of your salad.

    3

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl.

    4

    Using a grater, grate the carrot and add it to the salad for a nice crunch.

    5

    Dice the bell pepper into small pieces and mix it in. Choose a colorful variety if possible.

    6

    Chop the cucumber into thin slices or half-moons and toss them into the bowl.

    7

    Finely shred the red cabbage and add it for a vibrant color and crunch.

    8

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper to create a simple dressing.

    9

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

    10

    Serve immediately as a fresh and healthy dish, or allow it to sit for up to 10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
