Ingredients

Units Scale

Salad

  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (low/no sugar)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Honey Balsamic Dressing

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic

Instructions

  1. Make the Salad: Toss all salad ingredients together.
  2. Make the dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a mason jar and, with the lid on TIGHT, shake well.
  3. Serve + Store + Meal Prep Tips: If making this salad for a potluck-type event where it’s all going to get eaten the same day, pour the dressing on right before serving. Or, set it on the side in a jar and let people dress their own portions. If you’re making this for meal prep, portion out the salad into reusable glass containers. Do not add dressing until ready to eat to avoid sogginess. Store leftover undressed salad covered in the fridge and keep dressing in a sealed container at room temp for up to 4 days.
