10 - 1 tbsp honey

11 - 1 tsp Dijon mustard

12 - ¼ tsp sea salt

13 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

02 - In a large salad bowl, combine spring mix, blueberries, cucumber, red onion, mint, and feta cheese.

04 - Top with chopped pistachios just before serving to retain their crunch.

01 -

The sweet blueberries and salty feta create that perfect flavor contrast that makes everyone go quiet after their first bite
It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like something from a restaurant menu

02 -

Never dress a salad with nuts until you're ready to serve, or they'll lose their magical crunch completely
The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead, but the salad itself needs to be assembled right before eating

03 -

Dry your greens thoroughly after washing, water clings to leaves and prevents the vinaigrette from coating properly
Tear the mint leaves by hand instead of cutting them, it releases more of those aromatic oils
