This easy Holiday Salad looks as festive as it is delicious! Mixed greens drizzled with a honey mustard vinaigrette topped with Mandarin Orange segments, candied pecans, Pomegranate seeds and Feta cheese – what more could you want?

Ingredients

• Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

• 2 cloves minced garlic

• 2 tbsp champagne vinegar

• 3 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• Salad

• 12 oz. fresh mixed greens

• 2/3 cup Maple Cinnamon Pecans (or sliced almonds)

• 2/3 cup Feta cheese crumbles

• 4 seedless Mandarin oranges – peeled & segmented

• 1 pomegranate – seeded

Directions

• In a small bowl, whisk together Vinaigrette ingredients. Set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, add greens and just enough Vinaigrette to lightly coat the salad. Plate salad, and top each serving with pecans, orange segments, Feta Cheese & Pomegranate arils. Enjoy!

Notes

• Dried cranberries are a great substitute for pomegranate arils, if unavailable or preferred!
