A Salad for the Patriots

A Salad for the Patriots

Fruit Inspired with a Honey Vinaigrette

I am clearly a week behind in posting, but I promise (and I have witnesses) that I made this salad for a July 4th BBQ and it was a hit! Is it fancy or special or especially creative? No. But it is red, white, and blue, and served its festive purpose in honor of our country's birthday. Perhaps you'll choose to make this for a BBQ later this summer, or for the 4th next year. Either way it fed about 15 people and there wasn't a single complaint! Enjoy!

 In a large mixing or salad bowl combine*:

• 1 family size package of mixed greens
• 1 pint of blueberries
• 1 16oz package of strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup feta cheese

Honey Vinaigrette**

In a salad dressing jar or bowl combine the following: 

• 2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1/16 tsp black pepper

(If you measure the oil before the honey, the honey easily slides off the spoon)

*Reminder, this recipe feeds 15 people with leftovers.
