Description
Assemble this bright, fresh salad featuring tender greens, sweet blueberries, and crunchy pistachios with a simple lemon vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups mixed spring greens or baby spinach
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, lightly toasted
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- For the Vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Close the jar tightly and shake well until emulsified.
- Toast the pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, blueberries, toasted pistachios, feta cheese (if using), and red onion.
- Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients.
- Gently toss the salad until all components are lightly coated. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Toast the pistachios in advance to save time during assembly.
- For a more substantial meal, add grilled chicken breast or salmon.
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta if you prefer a tangier flavor.
