Cranberry Walnut Salad with Feta


I might have said the Apples and Greens salad I posted on a little while ago was my favorite fall salad. In that case, this one is a close second. I'm not normally a walnut fan, but with the sweet/tart dried cranberries, the salty feta and the cranberry dressing they provide a nice crunch and flavor to the salad. The finished salad is a pretty, colorful addition to any fall meal, and the best part is that there is minimal chopping. Who can't enjoy that?

Cranberry Walnut Salad with Feta

Salad:
1 lb mixed salad greens
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and cooled
 
Cranberry Dressing:

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sweetened, dried cranberries
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons water

In a large bowl, mix salad ingredients. Add dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over salad mixture and toss.
