  • Yummy salad recipe

     

    You will love this salad recipe... I recommend buying organic products for the recipe if feasible.  I didn't put how much of anything that you will need, because it will depend on how many servings you are making and what your taste is for each item.

    • Mixed greens (or baby mixed greens)
    • Sliced fresh strawberries
    • Seedless red grapes, cut in half  (they will be good even if they are tart, rather than sweet - either taste good)
    • Goat cheese (I recommend the one that comes in a "log", rather than crumbled - the crumbled type is a little drier), break it up onto the salad.
    • Sliced avocado  (either a half or a whole avocado, depending on the size and how much you like avocado too)
    • Slice mushrooms
    • Roasted, salted pistachios as a topping  (other nuts can be substituted, I've also used sliced cashews - I like pistachios better though)
    • Dressing: A mixture of two dressings -- Newman's Own Lite Balsamic -and- Newman's Own Lite Raspberry & Walnut vinagrettes.  I typically use a little more of the Lite Balsamic than the other, because I like the tartness.

     

    Enjoy!!  I wish I had a picture of the salad (maybe I will take one the next time I make it - which won't be long from now, I'm sure.)
