  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 oz mixed greens or baby spinach
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (raw or pickled)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or on a platter, layer the greens, avocado slices, blackberries, red onion, goat cheese or feta, and toasted pecans.
  3. Drizzle the honey lemon vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
  4. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Try adding grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier version.
  • Swap goat cheese for feta or blue cheese to vary the flavor.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.
  • Best served fresh—avoid dressing the salad too early to keep the greens crisp.
