Day 11 Salad 11 - Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Blue Salad

This salad is a taste sensation! With baby bitter greens, sour apple, dried cranberry, pecans and blue cheese- you will not be bored eating this one.


Ingredients:
3 c baby bitter greens
1 c baby spinach
1/4 peeled green apple chopped into 1/2" chunks
1/4 peeled cucumber chopped into 1/2" chunks
1/4 c dried cranberries
2 Tbs blue cheese crumbles
handful of pecan halves

Preparation:
fill the bowl with the greens
top with the rest of the ingredients

I feel that the cucumber was a mistake. It was soft compared to the green apple's crunch. It was yucky. The rest of the combination rocked. It was just what I was hankering for.
