Number Of Ingredients 11

SALAD INGREDIENTS:
4 c spring mix greens, washed and rinsed well
1 can(s) mandarin oranges, drained, 4 oz.
6 medium strawberries, washed and sliced
1/3 c crumbled Feta cheese
1/4 c chopped pecans
RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE
6 tsp raspberry preserves
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Raspberry Vinaigrette: Blend all ingredients together well, (a small whisk works great). Drizzle over salad just before serving.
  • 2. Wash and dry the greens well, then just before serving, plate each individual salad bowl with the greens.
  • 3. Divide the oranges, strawberries, feta cheese and chopped pecans onto each plate for a beautiful presentation. (The pecans can be toasted for a nuttier flavor, if desired.)
  • 4. Lightly drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving, and put the rest of it on the table in case anyone wants more with their salad.
