It uses dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar to get if that distinct, tangy taste.

Red Onion: Slice or chop these up, however you prefer to eat them Grape Tomatoes: Slice these in half or quarters and put them in the salad. You can use cherry tomatoes too. Large Avocado: The avocado slices goe so well with the creamy dressing! Feta Cheese Crumbles: I can’t tell you how much I love adding feta cheese to every salad! It’s so delicious.
