Ingredients
Scale
Salad Greens
- 5 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 6 ounces chopped butter lettuce
Toppings
- 1/4 cup candied pistachios
- 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
- 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Dressing
- 1/4 cup creamy pomegranate dressing
Instructions
- Prepare Greens: Toss the spring mix salad greens and chopped butter lettuce together to combine evenly.
- Arrange Salad: Spread the mixed greens on a large platter or divide them evenly among individual serving bowls.
- Add Toppings: Top the salad with candied pistachios, thinly sliced red onion, watermelon radish, sliced avocado, fresh blueberries, pomegranate arils, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Dress Salad: Drizzle the creamy pomegranate dressing over the salad just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
- Optional Seasoning: For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on top before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer convenience, use a store-bought creamy pomegranate dressing such as Simply Dressed by Marzetti for a similar flavor.
- Candied pistachios add a sweet crunch but can be substituted with plain pistachios or candied pecans based on preference.
- Make sure to slice the red onion and watermelon radish thinly to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors of the salad.
- The salad is best served immediately after dressing to preserve the freshness and crispness of the greens.
