If you are looking for an easy salad that is perfect to serve alongside your favorite dish, I have a super simple recipe to share with you.

This salad is perfect for a busy weeknight when you’re pressed for time to get a balanced dinner on the table.

Take your bagged salad and add it to a large bowl.

I like to buy the Romain lettuce that has a bit of the shredded purple cabbage in it.

Pour the red wine vinegar and olive oil over the salad.

Stir it up to coat evenly.

Toss in the cucumber slices.

I just use half a cucumber and I take all of the skin off.

Toss in half of the container of crumbled feta.
