5 cups spring mix greens
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the Balsamic Honey Dressing:
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large salad bowl, combine spring mix, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, carrots, feta, and nuts.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
Store dressing separately to avoid soggy greens if prepping ahead.
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
