Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, then add parsley and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and becomes smooth.

In a mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
