Description

A delightful Christmas Salad that combines fresh greens, sweet cranberries, and a honey mustard dressing, perfect for holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, romaine)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Wash and dry the mixed greens, chop the cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the red onion thinly, and chop your nuts. If using feta, crumble that now.
  2. Combine the veggies: In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, dried cranberries, and nuts.
  3. Dress it up: Drizzle your honey mustard dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss the salad until everything is well coated.

  5. Serve immediately: Transfer your vibrant salad to a serving platter for a festive touch!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain the crispness.
