Easy Tossed Green Salad
This easy tossed green salad is a staple that I have made for my family again and again. It’s packed with delicious textures and flavors and perfect as a side. It’s also easy to customize with your favorite toppings and make it into a main course. Either way, it takes only a few minutes to make and you’re sure to love it! Salads are usually best when served fresh, so add liquids only when it’s time to serve.
The best thing about this easy tossed green salad is its combination of a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, moist olive oil, sweetness from dried cranberries and a crunch of toasted cashews. It’s a perfect side salad that goes with everything.
