Ingredients

Salad Greens

  • 9 ounces spring mix salad greens
  • 9 ounces baby spinach

Mix-ins

  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 ounces dried cranberries
  • ½ cup walnut pieces or walnuts

Dressing

  • 6 ounces champagne salad dressing

Instructions

  1. If using walnut halves, roughly chop them on a cutting board with a knife to ensure even texture in the salad.
  2. In a large bowl, add spring mix, baby spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and walnut pieces. Pour the champagne salad dressing over the salad.
  3. Toss the salad thoroughly so the greens and mix-ins are evenly coated with the dressing. For best results, toss from both side to side and top to bottom to distribute ingredients evenly. Chill if not serving immediately.

Notes

  • This salad is best served the same day for optimal freshness and texture, although it can be stored for up to three days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Because the cranberries, cheese, and nuts tend to sink to the bottom, toss the salad carefully before serving and consider reserving some mix-ins to sprinkle on top for an attractive presentation.
  • Chilling the salad after tossing enhances the refreshing flavors but avoid dressing the salad too far in advance to prevent sogginess.
