I was recently asked to help provide a meal for a funeral reception. The funeral was in the middle of a very busy day for me, but there is no way I could say no. I volunteered to bring a salad. I picked up the ingredients at the grocery store including salad dressing, a disposable aluminum pan, and disposable serving utensils. Then I put the whole salad together in my office. I took pictures with my phone as I assembled the Spring Mix Feta Cheese Salad. The whole preparation, including taking the pictures, took about 10 minutes.
Spring Mix Feta Cheese Salad
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 bags Spring Mix greens
- 1 container Grape Tomatoes
- 1 container Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 bag Almond Salad Topping (or any flavor you like)
- Raspberry Vinaigrette or Balsamic Honey Salad Dressing
- 1 bag Craisins (not pictured)
NOTE: When I took these pictures I was preparing this salad to feed a lot of people. I doubled the above recipe. You can scale it as large or as small as needed.
Dump the bag of Spring Mix greens into a pan and spread out evenly.
Leaving the grape tomatoes in their original container, open the top and rinse them under cool, running water. The container is designed with holes in the bottom, so the excess water will run off. Give it a few shakes to remove as much water as you can, then dump those on top of the greens. Spread out evenly.
Crumbled feta cheese is the next layer. For this salad I used Tomato and Basil flavored feta. If you can find flavored feta cheese, I recommend using it!
And finally, the Almond Salad Topping and Craisins are the last layer.
I prefer to leave the salad undressed and serve the salad dressing on the side.
Spring Mix Feta Cheese Salad is delicious served with a slightly sweet dressing. My favorites are Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette and Balsamic with Honey. If you are taking this recipe to a potluck, cover it with aluminum foil and don’t forget to pick up some disposable serving utensils.
