Ingredients

• 6 cups Mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, kale, or spring mix)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed salad greens, then place them in a large mixing or serving bowl.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the bowl.

Step 3

Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference, and add to the salad.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl. If the onion flavor is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes before adding.

Step 5

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice or dice the avocado and add it to the salad.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts or pecans, and dried cranberries over the salad for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or jar until emulsified.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocado.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Delightful Addictive Salad as a side dish or main course.
