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.

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