Kim's Salad

This is a salad that I literally dream about. Our nanny Kim made it for our families at Thanksgiving, and I had dreams about not being able to find all of the ingredients, and being totally bummed by that prospect. She adds other variations that I mention at the end. But these are the ingredients from the Thanksgiving salad

Serves 4 adults
Mixed greens (whatever variety you like; I find that 2 bags of washed greens feeds 4 people)
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
Grape tomatoes, halved
English cucumber, cut lengthwise and then sliced
Fresh dill
4 oz crumbled feta cheese
Juice from half a lemon
Olive oil
Cracked pepper

Wash and dry greens; prepare other veggies. Pick a fairly sizable bunch of dill (a few full stems) and snip with kitchen shears. Add feta, toss salad to mix. Squeeze lemon, and drizzle with about a tablespoon of good quality olive oil. Crack some fresh pepper over top, and stir again to coat with dressing.

Kim has added cilantro, avocado, and I recently added toasted pecan pieces and dried cranberries.
