Best Summer Salad and Simple Balsamic Vinai…

Makes: 8 servings

Ingredients:
1 large head  Ice Burg lettuce
2 cups  Shredded Purple Cabbage
2 cups  Shredded Carrot
4 - 6 cups  Baby Spinach
1 head  Romane lettuce
2 cups  Grape Tomatoes
3 cups  Sliced Strawberries
3 cups  Sliced Dark Cherries
2 large  Sliced Cucumber
2 cups  Diced Avocado
3/8 cup  Balsamic Vinegar
5/8 cup  Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 1/2 tablespoons  Honey
3 1/2 teaspoons  Brown Sugar
To Taste  Salt
To Taste  Pepper
To Taste  Garlic Powder

Instructions: Wash and prep :
*Part 1: Ice Burg - Purple Cabbage - Carrots - Romane - Baby Spinach (Or you can use pre-mixed salad packs)

*Part 2: Grape Tomatoes - Sliced Strawberries - Sliced Dark Cherries - Sliced Cucumber - Diced Avocado

Either leave salad ingredients separated for salad bar style serving or toss together Part 1 and top served salads with Part 2 to taste

Top with my Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Combine Balsamic Vinaigrette - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Honey - Brown Sugar - Salt - Pepper - Garlic Powder to taste

Wisk until well blended and almost creamy. You can adjust any of the ingredients up to taste. Tada! Dressing takes about 10 minutes to make. Chill ingredients and dressing before serving for an even more refreshing salad. The dressing makes enough for 8 standard side salads.
