Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz mixed lettuce leaves washed and dried
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup pecans toasted, chopped
- 8 oz baby tomatoes halved
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 oz soft goat cheese
Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp honey
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make the salad dressing by whisking all the vinaigrette ingredients (lemon, olive oil, mustard, honey, salt, and ground pepper) together or shaking them in a small jar with a lid on.
- Toss the salad leaves with the salad dressing, halved baby tomatoes, diced avocado, dried cranberries, and chopped toasted pecans. Plate it either on a large serving platter or individual plates and then top it with crumbled soft goat cheese.
Notes
Goat cheese - Make sure to use soft & mild goat cheese (not firm or aged). You want a milder flavor profile that will not overpower the other ingredients. If you want a substitute for it, try a creamy feta (like the Danish feta), or to keep the creamy profile, use fresh mozzarella or burrata.
