A vibrant and flavorful salad inspired by Italian cuisine, featuring fresh greens, colorful vegetables, and a tangy herb dressing.
Combine the spinach, arugula, and romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl.
Mixing different greens adds a variety of textures and flavors.
Add the red onion, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and black olives to the bowl.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed for balanced bites.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, thyme, mustard, and garlic.
Whisking vigorously helps emulsify the dressing for a smooth texture.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing the salad.
Top the salad with croutons and shaved parmesan cheese.
Add the toppings just before serving to maintain their texture.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy.
Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing experience.
