Mixed Greens with Raspberry Vinaigrette

This vinaigrette is super easy to make ahead, even a day or two in advance.  I like to pair this salad with something rich and heavy, maybe even with a lot of fat or cheese - the fresh fruit flavors really cut through richer flavors.

Mixed Greens with Raspberry Vinaigrette

Ingredients

Salad

• 2 cups mixed greens
• 1/4 cup dried blueberries (or other dried fruit)

• Vinaigrette

• 1/2 cup raspberries
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
• salt & pepper, to taste

Serves 2-3
Cook Time: 5 minutes

For vinaigrette: muddle, or smash with a fork, 1/4 cup raspberries in the bottom of a Mason jar.  Once liquefied, but a little chunky still, add olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper, and shake till combined.  Refrigerate until ready to use.
Put a handful of greens on each salad plate.  Top with vinaigrette, a few fresh raspberries, and dried blueberries.
