**Ingredients**

* 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments
* 1/4 cup dried cranberries
* 2-4 TBSP roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
**BLUEBERRY BALSAMIC DRESSING:**
* 1 cup blueberries
* 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
* 2 TBSP red wine vinegar
* 2 TBSP dijon mustard
* 1 TBSP honey
* 1 tsp salt (I use sea salt)

*NOTE:* This recipe makes a bottle’s worth of dressing which will keep great in the fridge for future salads.

**Instructions**
1. **First make your dressing:** In a food processor or blender, combine all dressing ingredients except for the avocado oil. Blend until blueberries are completely pureed, then use the little top cut-out to drizzle in the avocado oil at the end. Once dressing is emulsified you’re good to go!
2. Wash + dry your greens.
3. Combine with cucumber and blueberries, then toss with a drizzle or two of dressing. Add extra as desired.
4. Top with mandarin orange segments, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds and serve!
*Making this salad in advance? Go for it! Mix together everything minus the orange and dressing then combine when ready to serve!*
Recipe yields 2 large salads or 4 side salads.
