My Spring Salad was a big hit with the mother-in-law so it must be a winner! It is super light and only slightly sweet with a great crunch from the pecans!
For the salad I started with a great spring mix but any spinach or dark leaf lettuce would work great. I then quartered a few strawberries and tossed those on top. Toasted pecans and gorgonzola cheese round out this fresh delight!
I topped my salad with a homemade strawberry vinaigrette. Feel free to play with the ingredient list below. I like this recipe because its not too sweet and seems to pull all the flavors of the salad together.
For the Strawberry Vinaigrette
- 1 part white vinegar
- 2 parts oil
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/2 cup strawberries
Toss and enjoy this wonderful taste of spring! This salad works great by itself as a standalone meal or as the starter to a light chicken or fish dish. Stay tuned for the rest of my all vegetarian mother's day dinner...
Cheers,
Courtney
