The recipe for this beautiful blend came from a local berry farm some years ago, notes Linda Jo Wahlgren of Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. We like to take the sweet and savory salad on picnics to accompany cold chicken and a loaf of crusty bread. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons honey |
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/2 teaspoon grated onion |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
dash salt |
1/3 cup canola oil |
8 cups torn mixed salad greens |
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange, drained |
1 medium sweet onion, sliced into rings |
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. In a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes; stir until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in oil. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. In a salad bowl, combine the greens, strawberries, oranges, onion, almonds and bacon. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to coat. Yield: 12-14 servings.
