Notes
- Keep the Salad Crunchy: To maintain the crispness of the greens and nuts, add the dressing just before serving.
- Swap the Nuts: Walnuts add crunch, but pecans, almonds, or pistachios work well for a different flavor. Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and texture.
- Try Different Cheeses: Goat cheese gives a creamy tang, but feta, blue cheese, or burrata can be used for variety. For a milder flavor, try shaved Parmesan.
- Balance the Flavors: If the dressing is too tangy, add a little extra honey. If it’s too sweet, increase the lemon juice slightly.
- Boost the Sweetness: For extra sweetness, sprinkle in a handful of dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds.
- Add More Greens: You can mix in baby kale or butter lettuce for additional texture and nutrients.
