This is from 500 Treasured Country Recipes. I have not tried it yet but it looks very interesting and I thought it would be a great addition to the strawberry recipe swap. I can't wait to see the results! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 garlic clove, peeled |
2/3 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 cup grapefruit juice |
2 teaspoons grated grapefruit zest |
2 tablespoons strawberry puree |
3 cups spinach leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces |
3 cups romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces |
3 cups watercress, with large stems removed |
1 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned |
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned |
3 cups whole fresh strawberries, washed and hulled |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper |
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a shaker jar, combine the oregano, basil, parsley, garlic, oil, juice, zest and puree.
2. Chill while making the salad.
3. Toss the spinach, romaine and watercress, lightly in a large bowl.
