This recipe idea came from my cousin-in-law, who brought it over for dinner one night. My sons and I fell in love with it and decided to re-create it.
Ingredients:
3-4 cups of baby spinach
1 apple, diced
1 orange, diced, separated
1/3 c. raisins, soaked for 30 minutes
1/2 c. blueberries
2-3 slices of bacon, cooked, cooled and crumbled
Mix together and serve with Raspberry Vinegaretter (below)
Raspberry Orange Vinaigrette
This dressing is delicious, sweet, tangy, and a beautiful color. Even my 4 year old loved this dressing! :D I used the jar method and the boys loved shaking it as hard as they could :D
Ingredients
· 1/4 cup grated/minced onion (half of a small onion)(opt)
· 1/2 cup raspberry vinegar (white wine vinegar or 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar and 1/4 c. raspberry juice (I thawed and drained some frozen raspberries ) will work just fine too)
· 2 Tablespoons honey (warmed
· 1 teaspoon dry mustard
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1 cup olive oil
· grated rind of one orange (2-3 Tablespoons)
· 1-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds (soaked 30 minutes)
Directions
3 EASY WAYS TO MIX THE DRESSING:
--In a blender or food processor. Mince the onion (if you are using). Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, & salt to the blender or food processor and mix until combined. With the blender/food processor running, add the oils in a thin stream through the hole in the top. Blend until well mixed. Add poppy seeds and pulse just until mixed.
--In a bowl. Whisk together vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, minced onion, and poppy seeds until well combined. Continue whisking while adding the oils in a thin stream. Keep whisking until well combined.
--In a jar. Add everything except the oil to the jar. Cover and shake to combine. Add 2 oils and shake vigorously until well combined.
If too thick, may be thinned by whisking in water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. Dressing will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
