RED, WHITE, AND BLUE (BERRY) GREEN SALAD
This recipe is more about assembly than actual cooking. (I mostly wanted to post my pics, which are pretty!) I had store-bought Romaine and Aerogarden -grown mixed greens, as well as strawberries and blueberries, needing to be eaten, so I made this salad (a variation of the usual strawberry-feta salads). I also put Recipe#49956 on it, but any bottled raspberry vinegrette will work. Also, it would be good with sliced chicken, avocado, onion, etc on top, or made with spinach. Feel free to enjoy it on the 4th, or any day!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add haricots verts, and cook until tender but still slightly crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain, then cool under cold running water. Cut into 1-inch pieces (there should be about 1 cup). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in grapeseed oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning; it should be highly seasoned.

Taste, and adjust seasoning. Let sit for 15 minutes, then toss, and adjust seasoning once more. Sprinkle a little pumpkinseed oil over it, and serve.
