Ingredient notes

Lettuce
A crisp lettuce like iceberg or leaf lettuce works best because it gives the salad freshness and crunch.

Kidney beans
They add protein and make the salad more filling. If you prefer a lighter salad, you can reduce the amount or leave them out.

Feta cheese
Feta gives the salad a salty and slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with the vegetables. You can use the light version for less calories.

Mozzarella
Light mozzarella adds creaminess and balances the stronger feta taste.

Red onion
Red onions are slightly milder and more aromatic than regular onions, which makes them perfect for fresh salads.

Apple cider vinegar
This adds a light acidity that keeps the dressing fresh and simple.

Olive oil
If you prefer a milder taste, you can add a little more olive oil. Just be aware that olive oil is high in calories.

Tips for serving

This salad works well as a quick lunch or light dinner.

It is also great to prepare in advance and take to work.

If you are serving it for a group, simply increase the portion size and mix everything in a larger bowl.
