Ingredients
Scale
Greens
- 5 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 6 ounces chopped butter lettuce
Toppings
- Candied pistachios
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 watermelon radish, thinly sliced
- 1 to 2 small avocados, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Dressing
- Creamy pomegranate dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Greens: Toss the spring mix salad greens and chopped butter lettuce together in a large bowl until well combined. Arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter or divide them evenly among individual serving bowls.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute candied pistachios over the greens. Layer on the thinly sliced red onion and watermelon radish for a crunchy texture and slight bite. Add slices of avocado for creaminess, then top with fresh blueberries and pomegranate arils for a burst of sweetness and color. Finally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the salad for a salty and tangy finish.
- Dress and Serve: Right before serving, drizzle the creamy pomegranate dressing over the salad to lightly coat the ingredients. Optionally, finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and texture of the salad.
Notes
- For added crunch, you can substitute candied pecans if pistachios are unavailable.
- The creamy pomegranate dressing can be homemade or store-bought; adjust quantity based on your taste preference.
- To keep the salad fresh, add dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- If pomegranate arils are not in season, dried cranberries can be a suitable substitute.
