The perfect combination of leafy, crunchy, and tangy, this California Salad with Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing.
This California Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette is a copycat of one I had at The Melting Pot Restaurant in Salt Lake City. It’s a perfect combination of leafy, crunchy, and tangy.
As soon as it starts getting warmer outside, all I want to eat are fresh sides! Forget the potatoes and gravy – I want something that’s not going to weight me down in the heat!
It goes great as a side, an appetizer, or even as your main dish (I’ve been eating it for lunch for the past few weeks!).
Ingredients you need for this California Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette:
- 5ouncesmixed baby salad greens1 bag
- 1cupgrape tomatoes
- 2TablespoonsGorgonzola Cheese
- 2Tablespoonscandied pecan pieces
- ¼cupolive oil
- 10ouncesseedless raspberry jam1 jar
- 1cupseasoned rice vinegar
How to make California Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing:
Toss baby salad greens, tomatoes, cheese, and pecans together and set aside.
Blend the olive oil, jam, and rice vinegar together (either in a blender or food processor) until completely combined.
Pour desired amount over the salad and serve while it’s fresh. (I always have leftover dressing that I store in the fridge and use throughout the week).
