Instructions

Wash the mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry.

Rinse the blueberries gently, remove any stems, and let them drain.
Add the blueberries to the bowl along with the greens.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the salad.
Crumble the feta cheese on top.
Add thinly sliced red onion for a mild, crisp bite.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
