Next, slice your cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and radishes. The cucumber and radishes add a satisfying crunch, while the tomatoes bring a juicy, slightly sweet flavor. Add these veggies to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion, and sprinkle it over the salad for a tangy bite. If you love the flavor of onions but find them too sharp, you can soak them in a little cold water for a few minutes to mellow out the flavor.
For an extra creamy texture, peel and slice an avocado, then gently arrange the slices on top of your salad.
#### 2. **Hard-Boiled Eggs and Cheese**
Hard-boiled eggs are a classic addition to French salads, adding both richness and protein. Simply boil the eggs, peel them, and slice them into quarters or rounds. Add the egg slices to the salad.
Then, add your choice of grated cheese. If you’re using a French cheese like **Gruyère** or **Comté**, it will complement the freshness of the salad beautifully. If not, Parmesan or Feta will work just as well for a burst of savory flavor.
#### 3. **Prepare the Vinaigrette**
To make the dressing, combine **3 tablespoons of olive oil**, **1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar**, **1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard**, **1 teaspoon of honey**, and **1 small clove of minced garlic** in a small bowl or jar. Whisk together until emulsified and smooth. The mustard adds a bit of tang, while the honey provides just the right amount of sweetness to balance the acidity of the vinegar.
Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste, and if you’d like to enhance the flavor further, add some freshly chopped herbs like parsley or basil. Fresh herbs will add a vibrant, fragrant note that brings out the natural freshness of the salad.
4. **Toss and Serve**
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together. Be careful not to overmix—just enough to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
