For dressing:
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the greens, mandarins, pomegranate seeds, feta cheese, and chopped pecans/cranberries.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Apple cider vinegar can be substituted with balsamic vinegar. Leftover overs shouldn’t be kept more than a day (if that) covered and refrigerated. Pomegranate seeds can be omitted (some don’t like the seeds). Just add an additional ½ cup candied pecans and cranberries. The candied pecans and cranberries were found in the salad topping department in Walmart. Candied pecans/ cranberries can be substituted with a mix of regular pecans (or your own favorite recipe for candied pecans) and dried cranberries.
