Cranberry, Glazed Walnut, Orange, Avocado, and Blue Cheese Salad

Description

I first made this salad for my family’s Thanksgiving dinner several years ago as a starter, and it was a big hit. This recipe was inspired after I had some pear and walnut salad at a restaurant. Since I’m a busy professional woman and don’t have lots of time to cook, I wanted to make something quick and easy, yet tasty, using premade ingredients you can find at regular grocery stores.

Ingredients

  • 1 (5.5 ounce) package mixed salad greens with spinach
  • ¾ cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • ¾ cup glazed walnuts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • ¾ cup crumbled bleu cheese
  • 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry vinaigrette salad dressing, or to taste
