Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 5 ounces Spring Mix Salad Greens Feel free to substitute with your favorite mixed greens.
  • 6 ounces Butter Lettuce Romaine is a nice alternative for extra crispness.
  • 1 cup Candied Pistachios Swap with almonds or omit for a nut-free version.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Soak in water to mellow if you prefer a softer taste.
  • 1 medium Watermelon Radish Regular radishes can be used instead.
  • 1 medium Avocado Skip it for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Blueberries Other berries like strawberries can be swapped in if blueberries aren't in season.
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate Arils Try dried cranberries as a substitute if fresh isn’t available.
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese Goat cheese is a wonderful alternative to explore.
For the Dressing

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, combine 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of white sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture dissolves and begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of pistachios, stirring for another 1-2 minutes until well-coated and fragrant; transfer to cool on parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl or on a platter, blend together 5 ounces of spring mix salad greens and 6 ounces of butter lettuce. Gently toss the greens together.
  3. Top the mixed greens with thinly sliced watermelon radish and avocado. Scatter the red onion slices and juicy blueberries across the salad.
  4. Carefully add the cooled, candied pistachios and pomegranate arils across the top of the salad.
  5. Drizzle the creamy pomegranate dressing over the salad just before serving to keep the greens crisp.
