Mandarin Raspberry Salad Recipe

When it comes to Leafy Raspberry Salads, this recipe with Fresh Raspberries is hard to beat!

FOR THE SALAD

4 cups leafy mixed salad greens
1 can (284 ml size) mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup Mozzarella cheese (or another choice of cheese)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

FOR THE SALAD DRESSING

1/4 cup raspberry vinegar (or Raspberry Balsamic vinegar)
1/8 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 cup honey
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine all the salad ingredients into one large, or four separate, bowls.

Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard and seasonings in a small bowl.

Gradually add the oil in a slow, steady stream to form a thick dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Serves 4.

*Note -toasting the almonds adds crunch to the salad and intensifies the flavour of the nuts. To toast the almonds in the oven, spread the nuts in a single layer on a shallow baking dish (or cookie sheet). Bake at 350° for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
