Method
 

  1. Gather all your fresh ingredients, making sure the greens are crisp and the avocados ripe for slicing.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set the dressing aside.
  3. Place the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices in a large salad bowl. Gently toss to combine.
  4. Slice the avocado into thin wedges, then carefully add them to the salad, handling gently to avoid bruising.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad for a salty, tangy flavor.
  6. Scatter the toasted walnuts across the top for a nutty crunch and aroma.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together, ensuring the ingredients are lightly coated.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and fresh flavors, or chill for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like basil or dill. Keep nuts separate if preparing in advance to maintain crunch.
