_Sips chamomile tea_ Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty when you crawl back into bed. This Mediterranean-inspired midnight salad is literally what dreams are made of – and trust me, I’ve had my fair share of late-night cravings!
This recipe came to me during one of those can’t-sleep nights when I was craving something fresh yet satisfying. The combination of crispy lettuce, creamy avocado, and tangy feta cheese is _chef’s kiss_ perfect!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cups mixed baby greens (because we’re fancy like that)
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
– 2 tablespoons pine nuts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: grilled chicken strips (for my protein queens)
Honey, let me walk you through this simple process that’ll have you feeling like a midnight master chef:
1. Start by toasting those pine nuts in a dry pan until golden brown (don’t burn them – nobody likes a burnt nut situation 😉)
2. In a large bowl, toss your greens like you’re tossing away your ex’s number
3. Add those gorgeous tomatoes and perfectly diced avocado
4. Sprinkle the feta cheese like you’re spreading joy
5. Add those toasted pine nuts
6. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze
7. Season with salt and pepper

The best part? This salad is totally customizable! Sometimes I add grilled chicken when I’m feeling extra hungry, or swap the feta for goat cheese when I’m feeling fancy. It’s healthy enough that you won’t feel like you need to hit the gym at 2 AM, but satisfying enough to cure those midnight munchies.
What I love most about this recipe is how it combines different textures – you get the crunch from the greens, the creamy avocado, the juicy tomatoes, and that salty feta… It’s basically a party in your mouth!
