Berry Fresh Summer Salad
Ok, so Wendy's Restaurants came out with a summer salad with fruit and chicken in the salad, served with raspberry vinaigrette and it was ok, not bad for a fast food salad, but I decided to make my own at home without the chicken and just fresh fruit! It was so good and refreshing! My family gave it 2 thumbs up!
I made a strawberry lime vinaigrette to drizzle on the salad which took this salad to the top!
1½ cups iceberg lettuce
½ cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced into quarters
2 tablespoons crumbled Feta cheese
1/4 cup strawberry lime vinaigrette, recipe below
Chop lettuce. Wash blueberries and strawberries and slice whole strawberries into quarters.
In a salad bowl or plate layer lettuce, blueberries, strawberries, feta cheese and drizzle with vinaigrette.
Makes 1 salad
Strawberry Lime Vinaigrette
2 cups strawberries, diced
1 cup lime juice, about 3 limes
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sugar
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Combine all of the ingredients except poppy seeds in blender and blend until smooth.
Stir in poppy seeds.
Makes 3 cups
