Description

A fresh and vibrant Spring Mix Salad topped with a sweet and tangy Balsamic Honey Dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups spring mix greens (baby spinach, arugula, and baby lettuces)
  • ½ cup strawberries, sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese (or feta)
  • ¼ cup candied pecans or walnuts
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds (optional)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, add the spring mix greens, sliced strawberries, red onion, goat cheese, and candied pecans. Toss gently to combine.
  3. Dress the salad: Drizzle the balsamic honey dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat.
  4. Serve: Sprinkle with sunflower seeds (if using) and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes
