Equipment

  • Salad Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces mixed greens
  • 2 nectarines pits removed, and sliced
  • 2 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pistachios shelled (just the nut meats)*see note below
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • In a small bowl or mason jar, add the salad dressing ingredients: olive oil, sunflower oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, honey, and salt. Mix well until dressing is well combined.
  • Pour dressing over the salad. Add the fresh cracked black pepper to the salad, and toss well. Serve immediately, and at room temperature.

Notes

*When I lived in California, there was a great chain of grocery stores called Sprouts near me where I did almost all of my shopping. They had a bulk section with shelled pistachios, which they labeled as 'pistachio nut meats' and to this day it still cracks me up and I will 100% forever call them that. If you can only find the shelled pistachios, then shell them yourself - that's what we do now!
