Ingredients

Spring Mix Salad

10 cups spring mix salad greens
1 large carrot peeled and shaved into long ribbons
1 cup blueberries
¼ cup thin sliced red onions
¼ cup feta cheese crumbles
¼ cup chopped walnuts

Orange Vinaigrette Dressing

2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
¼ cup orange juice about the juice from 1 orange
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
⅓ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Add the spring greens to a large bowl. Top with the carrots, blueberries, red onions, feta cheese, and walnuts.
Whisk the champagne vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt together.
Drizzle the olive oil into the champagne vinegar mixture while slowly whisking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

The vinaigrette can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge.
Spring greens are more delicate than sturdy Romaine, iceberg, or even leaf lettuce so keep that in mind with the purchase of your ingredients.
This salad is best enjoyed after it is tossed with the vinaigrette. That being said, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, but try to enjoy them as soon as possible.
