Jan's Delicious & Healthy Spring Mix Salad

I'm in love with this salad and I don't feel guilty at all eating it. The first time I had it was when we went to visit Prather's in Kansas.

It's the perfect blend of sweet, savory and crunchy.

First you'll need your spring mix. I'll have these from the garden this summer!

You can use feta cheese or blue cheese. Either one will do, you just want it to have a strong flavor.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Craisins!

I added real bacon bits, they're not in the original recipe, but I love bacon bits so I couldn't resist!

Cucumber, chopped.

Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half.

Green onions...

Chopped. You will also need chopped walnuts and sprouts.

Fill a large mixing bowl about 3/4 a way up, leaving room to toss, with your spring mix.

Then pour your ingredients on top, eyeballing it on each ingredient.

Then toss and pour your vinaigrette over the top and toss some more. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

Spring Mix lettuce (in a bag or plastic container by the other salad mixes in the fresh produce)
Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Cucumber, chopped
Blue cheese or feta cheese, crumbled
Green onions, chopped
Craisins, by ocean spray (dried cranberries)
Chopped walnuts
Paul Newman's Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing
Sprouts (crunchy sprouts, you can get them by the bagged lettuce)
Real bacon bits, optional
