A refreshing cranberry blueberry salad featuring sweet and tart berries, crunchy nuts, and creamy cheese, all tossed in a rich blueberry balsamic dressing.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds or pecans
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese or goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry preserves or mashed blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the mixed greens and blueberries thoroughly.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion.
  3. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, blueberries, dried cranberries, nuts, cheese, and red onion.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, blueberry preserves or mashed blueberries, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
  6. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly without crushing the berries.

Notes

  • Thaw and drain frozen blueberries before use to avoid excess moisture.
  • Adjust honey and vinegar to balance sweetness and tanginess.
  • Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Use candied nuts for added crunch and sweetness.
  • Store dressing separately to keep salad fresh.
