Summer in a Salad

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

PROCESS:

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.
