Mixed Greens with Cranberry Dressing
Ingredients
- 5 C. mixed greens, herbs and lettuce
- 1/4 lb. blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/3 C. coarsely chopped walnuts
- Dressing:
- 1 C. fresh cranberries
- 1 seedless navel orange, peeled and sectioned
- 2/3 C. granulated sugar
- 1/2 C. wine vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. ground mustard
- 1 C. olive or vegetable oil
Directions
In a blender, combine the cranberries, orange sections, sugar, vinegar, salt, and ground mustard. Process till combined. Then remove the blender cover and gradually add oil in a steady stream. Set aside.
Rip all of the greens into bite size pieces. I like using an assortment of spring or baby greens along with romaine lettuce, spinach and herbs such as sprigs of dill, basil, and cilantro. To assemble place a handful of the salad mix on a plate or in a bowl, and top with some of the cheese and the walnuts. Pass the dressing to guests to drizzle over the salad.
