Check Out My Favorite Mixed Greens Salad Recipe Cooking Italian with Joe

Joe’s Favorite Mixed Green Salad Recipe – Fresh, crunchy, and absolutely delicious! In this video, I’m sharing my all-time favorite mixed green salad – the one I make on repeat because it’s so simple yet packed with flavor. We start with crisp mixed greens, then add creamy blue cheese crumbles, toasted pecans for that perfect crunch, sweet dried cranberries, bright lemon zest, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of good olive oil. The star of the show is my quick homemade maple balsamic salad dressing – tangy, sweet, and incredibly easy to whisk together. It ties everything together beautifully! This salad is light enough for everyday lunches but special enough for guests. It’s my go-to when I want something fresh and satisfying without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Ingredients (serves 2-4 as a side or 2 as a main): Mixed greens (your favorite blend)
Crumbled blue cheese
Toasted pecans
Dried cranberries
Fresh lemon zest
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Joe’s Maple Balsamic Dressing (recipe shown in the video – balsamic vinegar, pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper)
