Notes
Vidalia onion season runs from mid-April to early August so look for RealSweet Vidalia onions in the produce department of your favorite grocery store during those months.Apple cider vinegar can usually be found on the condiment aisle of the grocery store next to a variety of flavored vinegars. We like the mixed greens but you can use what you like--red tip lettuce, green leaf lettuce, spinach or a combination of them all! Look for blue cheese in the specialty cheese section of your grocery store. Make Ahead TipsIf using your own blend of greens and lettuces, tear into bite-sized pieces and wash and dry. I like to use a salad spinner (affiliate link)Store the clean greens in a resealable storage bag and add a fresh paper towel inside to soak up any extra moisture.You can also toast the pecans ahead of time and store in an airtight container until ready to assemble your salad. Make the dressing up to a day in advance and store in the refrigerator. Allow time for it to come to room temperature on the day of serving and then reblend either by using a small whisk (affiliate link) or popping into the blender again before drizzling over your salad.
