Description
A refreshing salad that combines earthy spring mix greens with sweet tomatoes and crunchy nuts, drizzled with a homemade balsamic honey dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Spring mix greens
- 1–2 medium Ripe tomatoes, chopped
- ½ cup Crunchy nuts (walnuts or almonds)
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- Salt, to taste
- Ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the spring mix greens and chopped tomatoes. Ensure the greens are clean and dry; nobody likes a soggy salad!
- Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden. Keep stirring; nuts can go from perfect to burnt in a heartbeat. Then add them to the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Taste it as you go! Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Don’t rush this step—it’s where the magic happens.
- Serve immediately and enjoy those refreshing flavors!
Notes
Use the freshest greens and tomatoes for the best flavor. Toasting the nuts enhances their taste.
