Ingredients
Scale
Salad Greens
- 9 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 9 ounces baby spinach
Add-ins
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 4 ounces dried cranberries
- ½ cup walnut pieces or walnuts
Dressing
- 6 ounces champagne salad dressing
Instructions
- Chop Walnuts: If you are using whole walnut halves, carefully chop them roughly on a cutting board using a sharp knife to create walnut pieces. This will add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the spring mix salad greens, baby spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and the chopped walnut pieces.
- Add Dressing: Pour the champagne salad dressing evenly over the salad ingredients in the bowl to ensure an even coating.
- Toss Salad: Gently toss the salad using a side-to-side and top-to-bottom motion to coat all the leaves and mix-ins evenly with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to distribute the ingredients well.
- Chill if Needed: If not serving immediately, chill the salad in the refrigerator to maintain freshness before serving.
Notes
- For added protein, grilled chicken or chickpeas can be added.
- Use toasted walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- Substitute feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of dressing according to your preference for moisture.
- Best served fresh and within a few hours of tossing to avoid soggy greens.
