Berry Yummy Salad

It is Sunday, so here goes another salad recipe. I came up with this recipe one day when we were having friends for dinner and I needed to make a salad, it was a big hit, yummy and easy.

Recipe for Berry Yummy Salad is as follows:


Berry Yummy Salad

1 Pkg. Blueberries
1 Pkg. Raspberries
1 Pkg. Blackberries
1/2 Block Feta Cheese (crumbled)
1 Tomato (cut into pieces) or 6 Cherry Tomatoes (cut in half)
Olive Oil
Red Wine Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Fresh Oregano, Basil or Thyme

In a bowl whisk together 6 T. Olive Oil, 3 T. Red Wine Vinegar, 3 T. Honey, Salt and Pepper to Taste, and 1 T. Fresh Oregano, Basil or Thyme (chopped). In another bowl place washed fruit, cheese and tomatoes. Pour dressing over the fruit and toss. To serve place in a pretty tall goblet, drizzle with honey before serving.


Bonus Recipe for Homemade Caramel Sauce:

In a skillet heat 1/3 c. Butter, 1 c. Brown Sugar, 1/8 c. Sugar Free Syrup and 1/8 c. Molasses.
Boil until sugar is dissolved Add 1/3 c. Heavy Cream, 1 t. Vanilla and pinch of salt.

I used this sauce to pour over poached pears, it would be great with ice cream, pound cake and fruit, or any other dessert you can come up with. I also think it would make a great extra something in your coffee. Store in a sealed container in the fridge and enjoy.

Have a restful Sunday,

The Lunch Lady :)

*Feel free to add or delete whatever fruit you prefer. You can also use any vinegar you have for this recipe.*
