Instructions
- Build the Base
Rinse and thoroughly dry the lettuce leaves. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of a large serving dish or platter. - Layer the Veggies
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce. Follow with a layer of thinly sliced cucumbers, then scatter the red onion slices evenly over the top. - Add Richness and Flavor
Place the avocado pieces across the surface of the salad. Sprinkle the crumbled feta generously over the avocado, then top with the halved olives for a punch of bold flavor. - Whisk the Dressing
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until the dressing is emulsified. - Serve and Enjoy
Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad to tie all the flavors together. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant layers with every bite.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve alongside grilled chicken, fish, or lamb for a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
- Turn it into a complete meal by adding chickpeas or grilled halloumi.
