Sweet + tangy cranberries, crunchy walnuts + funky blue cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE salad combinations. Make it a complete meal with some creamy white beans + add some toasted seeds because they bring every salad to the next level with that flavorful texture! Throw it together in minutes for an excellent timesaving weeknight dinner.
