Step 1

Add all the dressing ingredients to your blender or food processor. With variable speed units, start with a low speed and then gradually increase it to a higher speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth.

Step 2

If you don't have a blender or a food processor, simply add all the ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, a dressing shaker or a mason jar and just whisk or shake until everything's well-mixed.

Step 3

In a large bowl, gently toss the red leaf lettuce, arugula and dandelion leaves together. Add salt and pepper to taste and continue to toss.

Step 4

Drizzle on dressing to taste and continue to toss the greens.

Step 5

Scatter the grape tomato halves, carrot slices, red onion, yellow bell pepper and cucumber over the greens.

Step 6

Add pepper to taste, drizzle on more dressing (if needed), and gently toss the salad to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

If using, sprinkle feta cheese and homemade croutons over the salad. Drizzle with more dressing if desired.

Step 8

You can add your favorite protein and make this salad a main course or enjoy it as a meal starter or side dish.***
