This salad is about contrast rather than complexity. Crisp leaves, sweet-tart cranberries, and toasted nuts come together in a way that feels intentional, even when it’s thrown together at the last minute.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the salad greens in a wide bowl so they stay airy.
- Scatter the walnuts and cranberries over the leaves.
- Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper directly in a small cup.
- Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.
- Toss gently so everything is coated but not weighed down.
- Finish with shaved cheese on top.
Tips
If the nuts aren’t toasted, warm them briefly in a dry pan first — even a minute changes the whole salad. If you’re packing this for later, keep the dressing separate and mix right before eating.
