Ingredients
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.
