Cherry Salad Mix

This is my new favorite salad to make! The flavors and bold and seem to have a party in your mouth. It's perfect for summer and I love to eat the leftovers for lunch paired with some homemade potato rolls. If you add the dressing to individual servings - it will keep longer.

You will need:
1/2 cups pecans
1 bag of Spring Salad mix
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 small red onion (finely diced)

Dressing:
4 tbsp. raspberry vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable and/or canola oil
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. hot sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. parsley

1. Caramelize pecans with sugar by stirring them in a fry pan with sugar until the sugar melts. Let cool.

2. Whisk together dressing ingredients. Add dressing right before serving. Enjoy!
