Salad Obsessed

My mother-in-law is one fine cook. She is always coming up with new creations that I literally eat to death (translation - I eat the recipe daily until I am so sick of it I can't eat it again for months). I am currently on a binge with this salad.
.
Simple Green Salad with a Kick & a Real Nice Surprise
Mixed greens
Tomatoes (grape, cherry or regular)
Red onion, sliced VERY thin
Cucumber, peel before chopping
Avocado
Dried sour cherries (the real nice surprise)

Dressing:
1 small clove of garlic – mince, then sprinkle with salt and mash into a paste with the side of the knife
1 T Dijon mustard
1 T Worschester (the kick)
¼ c balsamic vinegar
¼ c good olive oil
Juice of one large lemon wedge
Salt & freshly ground pepper
