Divorce Salad is a crisp, tangy, and flavorful salad perfect for quick meals or light sides. Loaded with fresh veggies, feta, and toasted nuts, it’s topped with a zingy homemade vinaigrette that makes it addictive and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds or walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the romaine lettuce, slice the red onion and cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  2. Toast the almonds or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and toasted nuts.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  6. Drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving.
  7. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, omit the feta or substitute with a dairy-free cheese.
  • Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or avocado for a heartier meal.
  • Store salad and dressing separately if prepping ahead—keeps well for up to 3 days.
  • Use croutons or sunflower seeds for extra crunch or nut-free options.
  • Store-bought vinaigrette can be used as a quick alternative.
