Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Wash all vegetables properly under clean water. Chop cucumber, tomatoes, peppers and lettuce into small pieces. Keep everything fresh and crisp for the best salad texture.
Cut the Onion
- Finely chop the red onion into small pieces. Soak in cold water for five minutes. This reduces strong smell and makes it mild in taste.
Mix Vegetables Together
- Take a large mixing bowl. Add all chopped vegetables, corn, and olives. Mix gently so the vegetables stay fresh and do not get mashed.
Prepare the Dressing
- In a small bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Whisk well until dressing looks smooth and slightly thick.
Combine Salad and Dressing
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss gently using a spoon. Make sure all vegetables are coated evenly with dressing for balanced flavor.
Add Cheese
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Mix lightly or leave it on top for a nice presentation. It adds creamy and salty flavor.
Chill Before Serving
- Place the salad in the fridge for 10 minutes. This helps flavors blend together. It also makes the salad more refreshing and cool.
Serve Fresh
- Serve the salad in a bowl or plate. Enjoy immediately for best crunch and taste. Fresh serving gives the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Use fresh and crisp vegetables only
- Chop vegetables in similar sizes
- Chill salad before serving
- Do not overmix after adding dressing
- Add dressing just before serving
