Fruity Green Salad with Honey Vinaigrette
Fruity Green Salad with Honey Vinaigrette is a delicious green salad packed full of strawberries, dried cranberries, pecans, apples, and more!
I love to mix it up when it comes to salads. I love to try different fruit and veggie combinations. And the combinations in this Fruity Green Salad with Honey Vinaigrette was too good not to share with you all!
It starts with a delicious bed of chopped romaine and spinach. Then we add chopped apples, sliced strawberries, and dried cranberries. I like a little extra texture, so pecans or another nut is a must!
And I love a good vinaigrette, but so many of them have a lot of refined sugar, so this time I thought I'd try making a honey vinaigrette to go on the fruity green salad. It took a couple of attempts, but I finally found that by putting the ingredients in the blender, I was able to get the results I wanted.
Just make sure to use the vinaigrette quickly, as the ingredients will separate again, and the honey will get clumpy. And nobody wants clumpy honey, right?
