Mixed Greens Tossed in Honey Vinaigrette


Ingredients
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup walnut oil
1 (10-ounce) package mixed salad greens
1 mango, seeded, peeled, diced
1 cup goat cheese (Chevre) crumbled I use feta cheese instead
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions
In a blender combine vinegar, mustard, honey, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, and some fresh ground black pepper. Cover and blend for 30 seconds. With the blender running slowly, add oil in a thin, steady stream. (If necessary, stop blender and scrape down sides.) In a salad bowl, combine greens, mango, goat cheese, and cranberries. Add mint sprigs, to liking; drizzle with dressing. Toss gently to coat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
