Preparation
- In a medium skillet, combine 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of white sugar over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until it dissolves and begins to bubble, which takes about 3-4 minutes. Once ready, add 1 cup of pistachios and cook, stirring continuously on medium-high until they are toasted and fragrant, roughly 1-2 minutes. Transfer them to cool on a sheet of parchment paper.
- While the pistachios cool, take a large bowl and toss together 5 ounces of spring mix salad greens and 6 ounces of chopped butter lettuce. Aim for an even mix.
- To the bowl of greens, add thinly sliced watermelon radish, avocado slices, and red onion, then incorporate a handful of blueberries and pomegranate arils. Gently toss until well combined.
- Sprinkle the cooled candied pistachios and crumble some feta cheese on top. Substitute feta with goat cheese or omit for a dairy-free option.
- Drizzle generously with creamy pomegranate dressing. Allow some time for the flavors to meld before serving.
- Optionally, sprinkle cracked black pepper over the salad for added warmth and spice.

Notes
For the best taste, serve immediately after assembling. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing due to the creamy ingredients.
