Cranberry Pecan & Greens Salad
(Great for potlucks - easy to transport ingredients separately & put together in a matter of minutes so salad is very fresh)

Ingredients:

6 cups mixed salad greens, rinsed & dried

1 cup glazed pecans (you can used plain toasted pecans, but glazed really ‘makes’ the salad)

3/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced (a lot of people don’t like red onion so you can leave it out or use less if you prefer)

crumbled feta cheese

Raspberry vinaigrette dressing to taste (fat free works fine). Start with 1/4 - 1/3 cup & add more if salad is too dry.

******************************

Combine all of salad ingredients except vinaigrette in a large serving bowl. Just before serving, pour raspberry vinaigrette over salad and toss. Salad seems to do better if vinaigrette is cold.

Re: Cranberry Pecan & Greens Salad
Do you think raisins or dried blueberries would work? I have a bag of dried blueberries and haven’t found anything appealing to use them in.
