WEEKEND BONUS RECIPE: JACKIE BLEU SALAD

When Nancy P. made this salad for a luncheon at work (can you tell I spent a large portion of my life at work?), we thought we'd died and gone to heaven. The dressing is wonderful. To me, it tastes similiar to raspberry dressing, but better. It's the balsamic vinegar. It's really a simple salad that has a big taste. BTW. . .Have you ever tried balsamic vinegar with fresh strawberries? Delicious!


HER WAY: JACKIE BLEU SALAD


1 bag Italian salad mix
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3-4 TBS sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup slivered almonds (toasted)

Mix together dressing ingredients with whip or fork until well blended. Sprinkle almonds on top of salad mix. Pour dressing over salad. Toss and serve.

  1. This sounds great! I am going to try this and I know I will have to try the strawberries with the balsamic vinegar. I like salads that look like you slaved buy were really quick and easy. This fills the bill.
    Please come by and tell me what you think of my eggplant recipe. It is not that healthy but very tasty. It would not be prepared too often because of the frying.
    Let me know what you two think. Hugs, Ginger

  4. This sounds so good. I will definitely try it. IMy favorite salad dressing is Basil Viniagrette, made with fresh basil, garlic, tarragon vinegar, cannola oil. People rave over this dressing. I'll be glad to share with you if you'd like it.
