For this deliciously different salad, Priscilla Gilbert tops mixed greens with a sweet-tart fruit medley seasoned with onion and cilantro. It was a hit when I prepared it for our 50th wedding anniversary, she relates from Indian Harbour Beach, Florida. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh blueberries |
1 medium apple, diced |
1 large navel orange, peeled, sectioned and chopped |
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion |
1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
3 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 package (5 ounces) spring mix salad greens |
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, apple, orange, onion and cilantro.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, apple juice, sugar, oil and salt; drizzle over fruit mixture and toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
3. Divide salad greens among six serving plates. Using a slotted spoon, arrange blueberry salsa over greens. Drizzle with dressing left in bowl. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
