Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 6 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
  2. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, blackberries, avocado slices, feta cheese, pecans, and red onion.
  3. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For added protein, top with grilled chicken or shrimp. To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
