Sensational Salad

You might be wondering where I have been....no worries, all is well and I am back. Life has been so busy, no matter what I am making room for the things I love, cooking to be one of them. The recipe I am posting today is a sensational salad and very satisfying. Try it, I am sure you too will enjoy it.

The recipe for my Sensational Salad is as follows:

Sensational Salad

In a small bowl combine 3/4 c. light olive oil, 1/3 c. red wine vinegar or lemon juice, 1/4 c. honey, 1 T. dried oregano, 1 T. garlic powder, 1 t. salt and 1 t. black pepper. Mix well and toss salad with this dressing.

For some other dressing options, you can add 1/4 c. low sugar jam or jelly, or 1/4 c. mustard, or a squeeze or orange juice.

Salad Mix is as follows:

On a beautiful platter add 4 c. mixed greens, 1 c. blue cheese or feta, 1 small can mandarin oranges, 1 sliced cucumber, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 1 handful shredded carrots, and  1/2 c. sunflower seeds.

To make a dinner salad add 2 c. sliced grill chicken, beef or salmon.

Mix with dressing and top with your favorite croutons.

Enjoy!
