How to Make Chilled Summer Salad
- In a large bowl, layer the following ingredients in this order: 5 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), ½ cup cucumber (thinly sliced), ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, ⅓ cup chopped red onion, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Gently pour the dressing over the layered salad and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and 2 tablespoons cooked bacon crumbles.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the salad to chill thoroughly before serving.
