Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Immersion blender or mini food processor

Ingredients
  

For the lemon apricot vinaigrette:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam
  • pinch of kosher salt

For the salad:

  • 5 ounces mixed greens
  • 2 cups sliced peaches or strawberries
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • ⅓ cup golden raisins (or dried cranberries/cherries)
  • ¾ cup feta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups cooked quinoa
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

To make the dressing:

  • In a mini food processor, combine the olive oil, apricot jam, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Pulse until thick and smooth. Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a tall cup and use an immersion blender to blend.

Assemble the salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine greens, peaches, walnuts, golden raisins, feta cheese, cooked quinoa, and sliced red onion.
  • Drizzle half of the dressing on top of the salad and toss. Add the rest of the dressing and toss again.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

*If you like a heavy-dressed salad, double the lemon vinaigrette and add to taste.
