Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 9 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 9 ounces baby spinach
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 4 ounces dried cranberries
- ½ cup walnut pieces
Dressing
- 6 ounces champagne salad dressing
Instructions
- Chop Walnuts: If using walnut halves, roughly chop them with a knife on a cutting board to create walnut pieces suitable for the salad.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the spring mix, baby spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and walnut pieces. Pour the 6 ounces of champagne salad dressing over the top.
- Toss Salad: Toss all the salad ingredients thoroughly until the greens are well coated with the dressing. If not serving immediately, chill the salad in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
Notes
- This salad keeps well for up to three days when stored properly, but is best prepared and served the same day for optimal freshness.
- Mix-ins like cranberries, cheese, and nuts tend to settle at the bottom, so toss the salad both side to side and top to bottom before serving.
- Reserve a few cranberries, walnuts, and feta pieces to sprinkle on top for a visually appealing presentation.
- Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to three days.
