1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 lemon lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons olive oil fruity and rich
1 teaspoon honey adds sweetness
to taste salt seasoning

Method

Gather all your ingredients and wash the greens, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes thoroughly.
Use the chef’s knife to slice the cucumber thin, creating cool, crunchy rounds.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, noticing their vibrant color and juicy interior.
Place the greens, sliced cucumber, and tomatoes into a large mixing bowl, gently tossing to combine.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and slightly frothy.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly, watching the greens glisten and the flavors meld.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the greens to absorb the dressing.
Give the salad a final gentle toss, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crisp textures and bright, tangy flavors of this simple, elegant salad.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add fresh herbs like basil or parsley. This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored refrigerated for an hour if needed.
