A refreshing and healthy salad inspired by English gardens, featuring fresh vegetables and a light vinaigrette dressing.

Steps

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  4. Serve the English Garden Salad chilled.

Tips for English Garden Salad

  • Choose crisp, dry greens and firm cucumber so the salad stays fresh rather than limp.
  • Keep the dressing light: excess can weigh down the leaves and make the salad watery.
  • For the best texture, serve soon after dressing; the greens soften as they sit.

Drink pairing

a crisp Sauvignon Blanc
Its bright acidity complements the vinaigrette and fresh vegetables, while its clean finish suits the feta.

0% option: sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat within 3–4 days. Dressed greens may become limp, so the salad is best enjoyed freshly made.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare this salad ahead?

You can slice the vegetables and keep them covered in the refrigerator, but wait to add the dressing until just before serving.

How can I tell if the salad is dressed enough?

The leaves should look lightly glossy, not pooled with dressing; add it gradually and toss gently.

What goes well with this salad?

Serve it alongside grilled chicken, fish, or crusty bread for a simple lunch or light meal.
