I tried this recipe from The Denver Post this summer when we had house guests and everyone decided that it was definitely a keeper . Besides being delicious, it makes a very pretty salad! Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
2 heads romaine lettuce or 2 heads spinach, torn into bite-sized pieces |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
1 pint strawberry, stemmed and quartered |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced and quartered |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Whisk vinaigrette ingredients together.
2. Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Pour vinaigrette over salad, a little at a time (you may not need all of the dressing) and toss to coat.
4. Serve and enjoy!
