Last of Summer Salad w/Strawberry Vinaigrette
The dressing is what makes this salad - slightly sweet/tart, blushing pink color... perfect for any last of summer salad combination you can come up with. I used beautiful raspberries, crisp apples, and crunchy julienned jicama with baby romaine and spinach - then drizzled on this amazing dressing.
Every year I find myself surprised that fall is always MUCH busier than I anticipated. Even now that my kids are up and out, there are still lots of things I have to divide my time between. I want to take advantage of the last fruits of summer as the nights get cold and days get shorter.
A good friend shared this recipe with me. I love how easy this dressing is to throw together. As I shopped for it, I found it was harder to find strawberries than raspberries. So, if you don’t have access to fresh strawberries - you could do what I did and use frozen berries. A small handful was all it took (I robbed my bag of frozen smoothie fruit)
It has a beautiful sheen, and the color is a gorgeous rosy pink. The original recipe calls for water, but I left it out. If you want it to go further - you may want to add a touch of water, that may change the flavor to be more subtle.
You can drizzle over each individual salad, or mix all ingredients with it so it evenly coats it - your choice. It’s great either way.
This is even better with toasted, sugared nuts - that recipe is HERE.
This would be wonderful on a fruit plate as well as a salad. Hmmm. I’ll have to try that.
