Ingredients:

1 package Italian dressing base, such as Good Seasons
1/4 cup COLAVITA Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup COLAVITA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 package prewashed lettuce mix, your choice (we like the Parisian mix with romaine, carrots and cabbage)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 medium cucumber (peeled, seeded and chopped into smaller than bite size pieces)
3 to 4 finely chopped scallions
1/2 cup craisins (or other dried cranberries)
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
