I first made this salad for my family's Thanksgiving dinner several years ago as a starter, and it was a big hit. This recipe was inspired after I had some pear and walnut salad at a restaurant. Since I'm a busy professional woman and don't have lots of time to cook, I wanted to make something quick and easy, yet tasty, using premade ingredients you can find at regular grocery stores. Ingredients:
1 (5.5 ounce) package mixed salad greens with spinach |
3/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries |
3/4 cup glazed walnuts |
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
3/4 cup crumbled bleu cheese |
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced |
2 tablespoons cranberry vinaigrette salad dressing, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the salad greens into a salad bowl, and sprinkle with dried cranberries, walnuts, mandarin orange sections, blue cheese, and avocado chunks. Drizzle the salad with the dressing, toss, and serve.
