  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salad Greens

  • 5 ounces spring mix salad greens
  • 6 ounces chopped butter lettuce

Fresh Produce

  • 1/2 medium red onion, sliced thin
  • 1 watermelon radish, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 2 small avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate arils

Nuts and Cheese

  • Candied pecans
  • 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

  • Creamy pomegranate dressing

Instructions

  1. Toss Greens: Combine the spring mix salad greens and chopped butter lettuce in a large bowl and toss lightly to mix evenly.
  2. Arrange Salad: Arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter or divide evenly among individual bowls.
  3. Add Toppings: Top the greens with candied pecans, thinly sliced red onion, watermelon radish slices, sliced avocado, blueberries, pomegranate arils, and crumbled feta cheese to distribute flavors and textures evenly.
  4. Dress Salad: Drizzle the salad with your desired amount of creamy pomegranate dressing right before serving to keep the greens crisp and fresh.
  5. Optional Seasoning: For an added touch of flavor, sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the salad just before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape and add creaminess.
  • Candied pecans can be substituted with candied pistachios for a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • The salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the greens from wilting.
  • You can prepare the components ahead of time and assemble just before serving for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of red onion according to your preference for sharpness.
