Here’s a spring/summer salad recipe that I found at Your Heart Out today. It’s full of berries and sour citruses, and topped with candied nuts and crumbly blue cheese.

Here are the instructions, but you should download the Your Heart Out recipe card here.
Ingredients:
1 package Spring Mix or Continental MIx, mixed with Romaine lettuce.
Strawberries, halved
Blueberries
Avocado, sliced
Pear, sliced–but not until right before serving
Grapefruit, peeled and sliced like a pinwheel
Oranges, peeled and sliced like a pinwheel
Crumbled blue cheese
Sugared pecans, whole or halved
Dressing:
1 package Good Seasons Italian dressing
1 T. sugar (or just a little less)
1 T. poppy seeds (or just a little less)
3 T. Water
1/4 C. Vinegar
1/2 C. Oil
Directions:
Mix all dressing ingredients before adding the oil. It’s best to first toss the lettuce with dressing, then add the fruit and toss with dressing, and put the cheese in at the very end. Don’t overmix.
Enjoy!
