This beautiful salad is not only delicious, it’s healthy too. You just gotta try it. This is a complete meal!
Cranberry vinaigrette
Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 – 3 leaves of fresh basil
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
pinch of salt and pepper
1 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. water to thin the dressing out.
Directions:
Place the cranberries, 1/2 cup of water and sugar to a sauce pan and heat over medium heat. Stir and cook until the cranberries pop, and break down. Once the sauce thickens a bit after about 3 to 4 minutes, remove from heat and let it completely cool.
Place the olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, pinch of salt and pepper, basil, cranberries, add a couple of tablespoons of water. Blend until smooth.
Now let’s put the salad together. You can use any ingredients you like but here’s what I used:
Candied walnuts (video on how to make these here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiLWVtxAtLQ
feta cheese
diced red bell pepper
organic raspberries
shredded carrots
diced celery
1 pear, peeled and cut into chunks
left over, cooked chicken cut into bite size pieces
diced tomato
cubed avocado
spring mix lettuce
Mix all ingredients into a big bowl. Add the avocado, walnuts and raspberries and feta cheese at the end. Toss well and enjoy!
