Dessert Salad

I call this "dessert salad" simply because it is like having dessert before dinner. It is SO yummy! There are many variations that can be made - any dried fruit... any chopped nut and any berry in the vinaigrette. Let me know which you try!

Serves 4 - 6 people

2 heads of romaine lettuce chopped (or red leaf)
2 mangos (or other sweet fruit) chopped (approximate 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup dried figs
1/2 cups sliced/slivered almonds

Blue Berry Vinaigrette
1 cup fresh blueberries (washed/dried)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar (apple cider is ok too)
2 tbls honey (or agave)
1/2 tsp salt

1. Place chopped lettuce in bowl. (For best results, after chopping, sprinkle with cold water and spin in salad spinner.)
2. Top with fruits and nuts.
3. Place Vinaigrette ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
4. Serve dressing on the side.
