Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 2 1/4 cups per serving

Ingredients

Strawberry Vinaigrette

2 cups strawberries, stemmed
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar

Salad

3 tablespoons sliced almonds
8 ounces mixed salad greens
1 11-ounce can mandarin oranges in water or juice, well drained
1 large pear, thinly sliced
1 cup blueberries or quartered strawberries
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor or blender, process the vinaigrette ingredients until smooth.

    Step 2

    In a small skillet, dry-roast the almonds over medium heat for about 4 minutes, or until just fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from the skillet so they don’t burn.

    Step 3

    Just before serving, arrange the salad greens on plates. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the remaining ingredients.
