and feeling unproductive today! lol
Have had the recipe part of this post
done for awhile.....
since we had this delicious salad again,
back in mid March and it is a perfect
spring/summer salad and is so delicious
I felt it worthy of a repost.
Actually I found it in a Publix (our
local grocery store) magazine, and it
was from a blogger in Ocala, Fl, course,
if you have visited me much you know
I am a recipe and decorative tweeker
so I changed it up a bit to go with what
I had in the house at the time. lol

It is also very heart healthy as well!
It is called
"Tropical Salad with Citrus Viniagrettte"
and this is my version, and I do each plate
separately cause it looks so pretty. Course,
there is just 2 of us, she said she uses a
platter, which is a good idea too.
Just recently when I did it....I did it for
the whole family so I just put every
thing in a separate bowl then they could
put whatever they wanted or how
much they wanted on their lettuce.
Worked out very well................
Ingredients for Salad
spring mix or romaine or both
2 cups of mandarin orange segments
1 cup of hulled and sliced strawberries
1/2 cup of fresh blueberries
1/2 cup of plain pecans (whole)
coconut (optional)
Citrus Viniagrette dressing
3 tsp. of apple cider vinegar
6 tablespoons of lite tasting olive oil
6 tablespoons of honey
6 tablespoons of Orange Juice
in a blender or magic bullet (what I use)
mix all the above ingredients, then douse
your salad.........lol......If you like fruit in
your salad you will love this, hubby and
I both always look forward to
having again!

NOTE: I tripled (the above) her dressing recipe
and it was probably enough for 4 people.

Hungry yet?? lol
This is a little egg cup of the dressing
with some gluten free crispy crackers.
Love those things.
If you would like check out Julie's blog just
I went there to find the original recipe
so anyone who wanted to, could see it,
think she might have tweeked it a bit
too...........lol
So............hope you have a terrific Tuesday
Thanks for stopping in, looking forward to
hearing from you as always,
Love, Hugs and
Last of April Blessings,

Nellie,sometimes we cannot be as productive as we want. It's better to take a break and recharge our batteries. I am on Easter break right now, but I am hosting a new link party called Sweet Inspiration and would love to have you link up. It runs Friday to Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about resting and recharging our batteries, and that is exactly what happened, I did rest on Tuesday watched my lil granddaughter on Wed. and then on Thurs. and Friday did some Spring Cleaning and got a lot done. Hope you are enjoying your Easter break.
So when is your Easter??.....we celebrated Easter on March 27th....I never knew that others
celebrated it at a different time.....that is interesting!
Thank you for coming by and for your sweet comments and also for your lovely invitation to
your linky party........you will see I have taken you up on your offer and have already
linked up. Again thanks, and have a lovely weekend,
Blessings, Nellie

Nellie, this salad sounds delicious!! I love fruit in my salads especially strawberries. The dressing sounds yummy too. Thanks for sharing with us at Sweet Inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMorning Jann,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you, and have to say it really is one of my favorite salads, salads with
fruit have really grown on me over the years, cause I use to like my sweets, but when I
eat dinner I just want food food, nothing sweet until afterwards. But these type of salads have won me over........lol
and they do make for a very pretty presentation...........
Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for dropping by always love hearing from you.
Blessings, Nellie
