What my summer salad has how many calories???

A typical orchard salad is 895 calories!!! Ouch! I know we have all had our moments at a restaurant eating an 895 cal salad feeling really healthy right?!?? So here is an orchard salad I found with 533 cal (much better!) and it is full of powerful antioxidants!

1 ounce walnuts
¼ teaspoon agave nectar
Pinch of kosher salt
3onces mixed baby greens
2 ounces grapes, halved
1 ounce celery
1 ounce red onion
2 ounce English cucumber, diced
¼ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
¼ cup fresh blueberries
1 ounce dried cranberries
1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons pomegranate juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Combine all ingredients and toss with pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and olive oil. 
Enjoy immediately.

YUMM! Perfect summer salad!
