Anyone that knows me can tell you, I LOVE strawberries! When salads like these started becoming popular and readily available in restaurants, I couldn't have been happier! There is really no set recipe to this one. It's a salad! Throw in what you like, leave out what you don't.
Start with a spring mix lettuce.
Toss in some romaine or spinach.
Sprinkle in a few veggies like celery and red onion.
Mix in your fruits like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, raisins, or dates.
Layer with some nuts like pecans, walnuts, almonds, or peanuts.
Top off with some goat cheese, bleu cheese, or Gorgonzola!
Personally, I think the best dressing on salads like these is poppyseed! It adds just enough tartness, flavor, and punch for a mix of fruit and veggies.
Other options are ginger sesame or a raspberry vinaigrette.
I loved Wishbone's Bountiful Berry Delight but alas, it got discontinued!
I didn't have anything suitable on hand so I made some dressing in a pinch.
Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing:
3 oz olive oil
3 oz red wine vinegar
2 Tsp sugar
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 Tsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp raspberry preserves
Shake Well!
