A light and herb-forward salad with garden-fresh greens and a zesty lemon vinaigrette, inspired by Brussels' hidden gardens. This Belgian-inspired salad recipe, ready in about 15 minutes, pairs mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion into a side that holds its own next to almost any main — bright, balanced, and quick enough to slot into a weeknight plate. Each serving lands at about 160 calories and feeds 2, so it slots cleanly next to roasted proteins, grain bowls, or weeknight mains.
