STRAWBERRY TOSSED SALAD



Strawberry Tossed Salad image

Meet the Cook: One reason I particularly like this recipe is that it's so versatile. I've served the salad with poultry, ham and pork all throughout the year and even used it to add color to the table at Christmas. Recently, when I brought this for a dinner at church, one lady asked if she could take home the little that was left for her husband's lunch the next day - and he very rarely eats salad or fruit. Right now, my husband and I are in the middle of building our retirement home out in the country. We have four grown children and five grandchildren. -Patricia McNamara, Kansas City, Missouri

Strawberry Romaine Salad image

"I love to entertain and cook for family and friends when they drop in," remarks Ileen Adkins of Randle, Washington. "When strawberries are in season, I serve this salad often. But because of its unusual combination of onion and berries, I sometimes have to encourage guests to try it. Once they do, they always come back for more."

STRAWBERRY ROMAINE SALAD



Strawberry Romaine Salad image

Our good friend, Sandy Miller, made this salad when we were staying with them. I was surprised to see that peanut brittle was in the salad, but my husband and I were claiming that it was the best salad that we had ever eaten with the very first bite! We said that it might have been because we had not had any sweets since we had given them up for Lent, but we have had this salad many times since then and it is always a pleaser. The dressing is outstanding and I have made many variations using the dressing. I will say that peanut brittle is sometimes hard to get and I have substituted a peanut butter crunch that I found at one of our Kroger's. The recipe calls for 1 can of french fried onion rings, but that won't go through so I am putting the 3 oz bag and you can put on for the amount of salad. Also the original recipe called for a box of peanut brittle, but I just put some in a baggie and crushed it with a rolling pin. It makes a lot of dressing and when I make it for just my husband and I we can usually have 2 -3 salads from the 1 recipe.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
1 head romaine lettuce, cut
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
3 ounces French fried onion rings
1/2 cup of crushed peanut brittle

Steps:

  • Toss lettuce and strawberries.
  • Just before serving add crumbled onion rings and crumbled peanut brittle and toss with dressing.
  • I have used Mesclun from my garden (Spring mix) - mix of young tender lettuce varieties and a sprinkling of arugula and we love those flavors.
  • Another variation is that I substitute an apple for the strawberries and toasted pecans for the peanut brittle.
  • I have also used the dressing over fruit (strawberries, mandarin oranges, apples, etc.) and topped with toasted pecans.
