Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the mixed salad greens. Use a salad spinner to remove excess water, ensuring your greens remain crisp and fresh.
  2. Rinse the fresh blueberries gently under cool water and set them aside to drain. Chop the shelled pistachios into smaller pieces, and slice the red onion thinly. Crumble the feta cheese into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard until fully emulsified. Sprinkle in salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Add the chopped pistachios, crumbled feta, and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the salad greens, and gently toss the components together.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, ensuring to coat all ingredients evenly. Toss gently to avoid breaking the blueberries.
  6. Serve your Blueberry Pistachio Spring Salad immediately for the freshest taste, or let it sit in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
