Welcome to the world of vibrant flavors with our Summer Harvest Salad! Packed with fresh produce and a zesty lime dressing, this salad is perfect for those sun-soaked days when you want something light yet satisfying.
The base of this salad is a mix of mixed greens, which provide a fresh, crisp foundation. Cherry tomatoes add a sweet, tangy pop, balanced perfectly by the cool, refreshing slices of cucumber. A touch of sweet corn brings a hint of natural sweetness, while red onion adds a sharp, zesty kick. The avocado is your creamy element, offering healthy fats and a rich texture. Feta cheese, with its salty, tangy notes, complements the other ingredients beautifully. Sliced almonds provide a satisfying crunch, and fresh cilantro delivers a burst of herbaceous flavor. Finally, the dressing, made from lime juice and olive oil, ties everything together with a citrusy zing.
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal. If you’re serving it as a side, consider matching it with a light pasta dish or a simple grilled fish. A crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea would complement the salad beautifully.
Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Add your mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, sweet corn, red onion, and avocado. Make sure everything is well distributed, giving each bite a bit of every ingredient. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until emulsified. This will be your dressing. Pour it over the salad, and gently toss everything to coat the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to mash the avocado while tossing. Once mixed, sprinkle the feta cheese, sliced almonds, and fresh cilantro on top. These are your finishing touches, and they add extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately for the best taste and freshness.
