Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by chopping your fresh veggies. Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Combine them in a large bowl.
- Add Protein: If you’re adding chicken or tofu, slice it into bite-sized pieces. You can grill or sauté it to add flavor, but even just using leftovers will work beautifully here.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. The honey balances the tangy mustard, while the lemon juice adds freshness.
- Assemble the Dish: Toss the vegetables and protein in the dressing until everything is evenly coated. Top with a sprinkle of feta cheese (if using) and give it a final gentle toss.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve this dish as a salad on its own or as a light side to your main course. It’s perfect for a fresh lunch, dinner, or even a picnic.
