Summer Plantation Salad

Summer Plantation Salad

1 bag spring mix salad

2 cups walnut pieces (toasted or sugared)

1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced

fresh blueberries, to taste

fresh pineapple, to taste

1 can mandarin oranges, drained

Poppy Seed Dressing:

2/3 cup cider vinegar

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp salt

2 tsp dry mustard

3 tbls grated onion

2 cups vegetable oil (enough for 2-3 salads)

3 tbls poppy seed

This salad was another one of the dishes for my mom's shower & it is simply lovely!  It's perfect for summer, especially when a group of ladies get together!

In a small shakeable container, mix all ingredients for dressing.  Shake well & refrigerate until serving time. This makes enough dressing for 2-3 salads.  When ready, place spring mix in a salad bowl & coat with some of the dressing.  Then, layer all the berries & fruit on top of the greens, then finish off with more dressing to your taste.  

There you go!  Now, that is an easy fun recipe & just imagine it with grilled chicken on top... yum!
