Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Pecans or walnuts, toasted
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed salad greens, then place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and gently scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips and arrange them over the greens.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pecans or walnuts evenly over the salad.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
Drizzle the sweet balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, or serve it on the side for guests to add to their preference.
Gently toss the salad if desired and serve immediately for a fresh, delicious dish.
