Ingredients
Salad:
6 cups fresh mixed greens
1/3 cup roasted walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup shredded radish
1/3 cup shredded carrot
1 orange, peeled and segmented
Dressing:
1/4 pound of strawberries, hulled and halved
1/3 cup of virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon of honey
splash of sherry
fresh or dried basil, crushed
salt & pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
Start by mashing about 3/4 of the strawberries in a large mixing bowl until they are more of a mushy consistency. Save the remaining strawberries for the salad. Wisk together the oil, vinegars, lemon juice, honey, sherry, crushed basil and spices in a separate bowl. Add this to the strawberry bowl and mix thoroughly. Cover and let sit for about 1 hour.
Mix the greens, radish, carrots and nuts, plate and top with orange slices, strawberry slices, and lastly the dressing. Save any remaining dressing in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
