Mixed Greens Salad with Cranberries, Walnuts & Fruits



Try to include different varieties of salads everyday.  Since they are raw, they are very nutritious. This, along with some bread makes a wholesome meal. Measurements are eyeballed.

Ingredients:
Mixed Greens (Spinach, Romaine lettuce, Arugula, Chard) - 3 cups
Walnuts - 3 tbsp
Cranberry - 3 tbsp
Mandarin Orange - 2
Apple - 1

Vinaigrette:
Lime juice or balsamic vinegar - 4 to 5 tsp
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Honey - 1 tsp or more for extra sweetness
Salt
Ground pepper - 1/4 tsp

Method:
Mix the greens, walnuts, cranberry, apple and orange.
To prepare the vinaigrette, whisk all the ingredients in a bowl and pour over the salad.
Toss everything together.

You can also use store bought salad dressing.
