By dkanon

Ingredients

• 1 pound mixed field greens
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup walnut pieces
• One 22-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained and chilled
• 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup aged balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

For the salad: Place the salad greens in a large bowl. Mix in the cranberries, walnuts, mandarin oranges, grape tomatoes and feta.

For the vinaigrette: Combine the raspberries, vinegars, sugar and mustard in a blender until smooth. Slowly stream in the oil until combined.

Toss the salad with the vinaigrette before serving.

Cook Notes: Aged balsamic vinegar gives this vinaigrette a bold, rich flavor. Increase the sugar if your raspberries aren't sweet enough for your taste.
