Pecan Herb Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette


(could serve 2 as a side or one as a meal)

Ingredients:
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs raspberry red wine vinegar
1 tsp local honey
1/4 tsp sea salt (to taste)

1/4 cup red onion chopped
1/2 cup cucumber chopped
1/2 apple grated OR chopped strawberries (for a little extra sweetness, I am trying to watch my sugar so I emitted this time but I usually add some fruit to this salad)
2-3 cups of herb mix (or leafy greens of choice)
1 tbs crumbled goat feta
1/4 cup crumbled raw pecans
1 cooked chicken breast chopped (optional) - I cooked according to the method stated above for the Alfredo and then separated for my salad.

The Method:

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, honey and salt in the bottom of a medium sized salad bowl, add veggies, greens, feta and pecans and toss until well combined. Top with chicken. YUM!
