4 tablespoons raspberry wine vinegar

{cooks note}
I generally use a mix of greens that I get pre-washed from Costco. It's a large container for $3.99, and it lasts about a week even though we eat it almost daily. I also use my mini food processor to mix the dressing ingredients. A blender would work great too. You can experiment with different fruits and cheeses for this salad. I like the combination featured above, but blackberries, raspberries and pears would also be good.
I make a salad similar to this, and it's very tasty with toasted pine nuts. Something about the feta and the pine nuts together...Mmmmm.

this salad is awesome with creamy poppyseed dressing by KRAFT if you need a quick substitute.
ReplyDeleteI'm making this tonight for some friends... I've got red wine vinegar or raspberry vinaigrette, which would be better for the dressing recipe?
ReplyDeleteI would use raspberry vinaigrette. Have fun!
