Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the ingredients for your Longhorn Strawberry Pecan Salad. Make sure to have ready 16 luscious fresh strawberries, which should be meticulously cut into thin slices and patted dry.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 cups of vibrant Spring Mix Salad Mix with 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, adding a creamy and tangy touch. Gently toss them together to distribute the cheese.
  • Next, add 32 plump green grapes, lovingly halved and patted dry, to the salad mix.
  • Add a cup of sugar-glazed pecans for that delightful crunch and sweetness, followed by 22 ounces of mandarin oranges carefully drained and patted dry for a burst of citrus sweetness. Toss gently to incorporate all ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together 8 tablespoons of salad dressing, featuring a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients.
  • Thinly slice 8 ounces of red onion for a hint of zing and add it to the salad mix. Gently toss to incorporate.
  • Transfer the Longhorn Strawberry Pecan Salad to a serving bowl or individual plates, garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper if desired, and enjoy your delicious creation!

Notes

  • For an even sweeter touch, you can add a handful of dried cranberries or raisins to the salad mix.
  • If you prefer a more savory flavor profile, substitute the sugar-glazed pecans with regular pecans.
  • To make this salad vegetarian, simply omit the feta cheese or replace it with a non-dairy alternative.
