Method

1

Wash and dry the salad leaves well - wet leaves make a watery salad - and pile them into a large bowl.

2

Add the cherry tomatoes, olives, and red onion.

3

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper into a dressing.

4

Pour just enough dressing to lightly coat the leaves and toss gently (dress it right before serving so it stays crisp).

5

Scatter the crumbled feta over the top.

6

Add a final grind of pepper and serve.
