Steps:
- Whisk together raspberry preserves, oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
- Arrange lettuce on salad plates. Top lettuce with dressing and walnuts just before serving.
- My tips: I put all the dressing ingredients in a small tupperware container with a screw on lid and just shake. Much easier and quicker than trying to whisk. Or if you are down to the last little bit of preserves in your jar - just add ingredients to the jar, seal and shake. I also add a couple of tablespoons of water to it as well to kind of thin it out. I usually make it in the morning or the night before and have it ready to go by dinner time. I also sometimes add a sprinkle of feta cheese as well.

- To make the vinaigrette: In a jar with a lid, add the sugar, vinegar, hot water, mixed berry jam, and garlic powder. Add the oil and salt. Cover and shake vigorously to combine.
- To make the salad: In a large bowl, toss together the mixed greens and 1/2 cup of the strawberries. Add the vinaigrette to taste and toss until the greens are coated. Top with the remaining strawberries and sprinkle the feta cheese and candied walnuts on top.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest greens: The fresher the greens, the better they will taste in your salad. Look for vibrant, crisp leaves with no signs of wilting or bruising.
- Wash your greens thoroughly: Before assembling your salad, be sure to wash your greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. You can do this by rinsing them under cold water in a colander or by soaking them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes.
- Dry your greens thoroughly: After washing your greens, be sure to dry them thoroughly before adding them to your salad. This will help to prevent the salad from getting watery.
- Use a variety of greens: Don't be afraid to use a variety of greens in your salad. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, arugula, and watercress.
- Add other vegetables and fruits: In addition to greens, you can also add other vegetables and fruits to your salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery, apples, and berries.
- Choose a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes a salad shine. Be sure to choose a dressing that has a flavor that you enjoy. There are many different types of dressings to choose from, so you're sure to find one that you like.
- Serve your salad immediately: Salads are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to ensure that the greens stay crisp and the dressing doesn't get watery.
