Raspberry Orange Garden Salad

What a beautiful weekend we enjoyed here in the Northwest! We are loving summer and all the berries.

It is so nice eating dinner outside in the evenings...and it is going to be a shock when we actually have to eat inside at the BIG table again! But for now we are LOVING the beauty of the backyard!

Tonight's Menu:

Lemonade

Raspberry Orange Garden Salad

Fresh Watermelon Slices

Salmon Burgers with Special Sauce

Fried Potaoes


Orange Raspberry Garden Salad

1 bunch fresh spinach, cut with scissors...for dainty bite-sized pieces!

1 head Romaine, chopped

1 small can Mandarin oranges, drained

1/2 cup sliced almonds

Toss above ingredients together and add the dressing right before you are ready to serve dinner.

{Dressing}

1/3 cup olive oil

1/3 cup orange juice

1/4 cup red wine vinegar...plus a bit more if you like

1 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

6 grinds of fresh pepper...to taste

1 large clove garlic, peeled and crushed

Shake the above in a half pint canning jar.

Now...toss your fresh garden greens, fire up the grill and enjoy a sweet evening outside!

Love to all of you and a very HAPPY MONDAY!
