A very nice summer salad-you can trade out the strawberries for blackberries if youd like to follow the berry season, or even add smoked chicken for a whole meal salad! Ingredients:

4 -6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled |
2 navel oranges, peeled pith removed and sliced thin-remove seeds if needed |
1 pint fresh strawberries, quartered |
pecans or walnuts, to taste,halves are nice |
vinaigrette |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
6 large strawberries |
3 tablespoons dijon mustard |
3 tablespoons honey |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 shallot, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
1 cup virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Arrange on 4 to 6 plates equal amounts of the mixed salad greens, crumbled blue cheese, orange slices and berries.
2. Sprinkle with nut pieces or halves.
3. In a blender pulse all ingredients except olive oil.
4. Slowly add the oil, blending well.
