The honey vinaigrette really compliments the feta cheese, pistachios and fresh berries in my Berry Salad with Honey Vinaigrette.
When the weather gets warmer and spring arrives I enjoy making fresh salads. This particular salad is a mixture of iceberg lettuce and mixed greens as the base and I’ve added sweet peppers, pistachios and feta cheese.
The honey vinaigrette is a basic vinaigrette with olive oil, , champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard and I’ve added honey so you get a nice sweetness to the acidity in the salad dressing.
I’ve chosen to use blackberries in the salad as they were on special at the grocery store this week. Raspberries, strawberries or blueberries would also work well with this salad.
Here are all the ingredients in the salad.
