The Best Cranberry Pecan Salad with Raw Mustard Dressing


This is based off of my step-mothers cranberry-pecan salad. It's amazing! I don't know where she originally got it, or if she made it up herself, but here's my version:
1 bag romaine, in bit sized pieces (or other desired lettuce)
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup clementine orange sections
1/4 - 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced


Toss with:
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoons cranberry white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tsp raw dijon mustard* or prepared dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons raw agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds, optional


Check seasoning.


For raw dijon mustard:
Ingredients:
¼ cup organic brown mustard seeds, soaked 24 hours
1 cup raw apple cider vinegar
¾ cup hemp seeds
2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon turmeric


Preparation:
Blend in Vitamix until smooth. Store in refrigerator.
