Ingredients
5 ounces spring mix salad greens
6 ounces chopped butter lettuce
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup candied pistachios
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup yogurt (plain, non-fat or whole milk)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic (minced)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for drizzling
Instructions
In a large salad bowl, toss spring mix and butter lettuce until combined. Add blueberries, feta, candied pistachios, and pomegranate arils.
In a blender or small food processor, combine pomegranate juice, yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, and garlic. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Substitute blueberries with raspberries or strawberries if desired. For homemade candied pistachios, toss raw pistachios with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, then roast at 350°F for 6–8 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
