TOSSED GREENS WITH PINEAPPLE, APPLE AND FETA CHEESE
This is a simple tossed salad, and I love the fact that the vinaigrette is oil-free. The dressing has a bit of a tang to it, but it is well-balanced by the sweetness of the fruit. I used Golden Delicious apples since they don't turn brown when cut, and romaine lettuce for the greens. I think the greens should be something "sturdy" to hold up to the apples and pineapple. Spinach would also be great! This recipe comes from Del Monte. Edited to note that I have this posted in the vegan category, even though feta cheese is listed in the ingredients because I have made this without cheese, too, and it is also good that way.
