Green Salad

This salad is a refreshing and healthy way to start your day. The romaine lettuce and spinach provide a base of leafy greens, while the cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion add a bit of crunch and sweetness. The feta cheese adds a salty creaminess, and the olive oil and lemon juice dressing brings it all together. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

This salad is a combination of some of my favorite flavors and textures. I love the bitterness of the romaine lettuce and the sweetness of the bell pepper and red onion. The cucumber adds a bit of crunch and the feta cheese a bit of creaminess. The olive oil and lemon juice dressing is simple but flavorful, and it brings all the ingredients together perfectly. I've been making this salad for years, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
