The salad ingredients I've listed are a suggestion. Don't be afraid to use YOUR favorite seasonal salad ingredients!
Clean and dry the salad greens. Tear or dice them into bite sized pieces. Add to a large salad bowl.
Clean and prepare the vegetables and fruit. Slice and dice - add to the salad bowl.
Prepare the vinaigrette. Start by thinly slicing the shallot.
Add all of the ingredients to a mason jar. Screw the lid on tightly. Shake, shake, shake hard until all of the ingredients are combined and the oil is emulsified.
Before serving, lightly drizzle the dressing on the salad and toss. Leftover vinaigrette stores in the refrigerator for up to a week!
