It's summer and it calls for a cool crunchy yummy salad!! As much as I love salads, I like to vary the veggies/ fruits, crunchy toppings and make my own dressings. It's much better that way I feel...you can cater to your own taste and get a 'feel good' healthy salad for yourself.
This one is perfect to be called 'summer' salad because of it's 'warm' color tones from oranges, cherry tomatoes and red cherry vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
2 cups 'Veggie' salad mix (with variety of lettuces, radish, carrots)
1/4 cup mandarin oranges
1/4 cup whole toasted almonds
few cherry tomatoes
Cherry Vinaigrette dressing:
1tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1tsp Red cherry preserve
1/2tsp Lemon juice
1/4tsp black pepper
1/4tsp dried oregano
salt
Method:
1) Toss all the ingredients for the salad in the salad bowl.
2) Stir together the vinaigrette ingredients.
3) Pour the vinaigrette over the salad just before eating.
Enjoy the crispy-crunchy textures of this 'warm' colored summery salad
