Spring Mix Salad with Honey Dijon Dressing

This salad is what I make when I want something that feels light but still has substance. The honey Dijon dressing is what makes it special. I keep a jar in the fridge all week and put it on everything.

Ingredients

Servings: 6

For the salad

5 oz spring mix greens (about 5 cups)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, sliced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup mixed nuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

For the honey Dijon dressing

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Place the spring mix in a large bowl.
Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and nuts if using.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.
Toss gently to coat all ingredients with the dressing.

Vivi's Notes

To make it more complete and nutritious, add diced avocado, microgreens, or pumpkin seeds. Pairs perfectly with the turkey meatball stuffed sweet potatoes for a balanced, flavorful meal.
