The combination of feta, dried cranberries and sugar pecans is good but what makes this salad really good in the dressing. We use this dressing for a lot of salad combinations, it's that good!
*Spring Greens or romaine, chopped
*celery, chopped
*craisins
*feta,
crumbled (This picture looks like I used a lot of feta but the bowl is
large and all the toppings are on top, I suggest not using to much feta
as it is a strong tasting cheese, a little goes a long way)
*sugared
pecans (In medium skillet (non stick) heat 1/4 cup sugar over medium
heat until sugar starts to melt, add 1 cup whole pecans and stir to
coat. Stir until sugar is melted and nuts are well coated (being
careful not to burn the nuts.) Remove from heat, cool, and chop. If
you have leftovers, they make a great snack)
Dressing:
2 tablespoons sugar (I now use maple syrup)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup canola oil (I now use avocado oil)
Put
dressing ingredients in the blender and blend until well mixed. Lightly pour dressing (only what you need) over salad right
before serving.

| This salad is also good by replacing the crasins with berries and adding grilled chicken. Makes for a great light lunch! |
This is a great recipe Dawn! I added the berries and grilled chicken. I didnt have feta cheese so I used bleu cheese. It was so flavorful! Thanks you!
