With berries in full swing and the temperatures rising, we thought it would be a great idea to post a refreshing recipe for a delicious salad! This recipe is from The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook, written by two local nutritionists. Come in to our office today to get your very own copy of this wonderful cookbook!
Salad:
8 cups mixed greens
2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, salmonberries, thimbleberries, raspberries)
1/2 cups hazelnuts, roasted
3 to 4 green onions sliced into rounds
Dressing:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sea salt
Directions:
1. Rinse and dry the green, place into a large salad bowl. Rinse and dry the berries. If using strawberries then slice. Place berries atop the greens. Chop the hazelnuts and add them to the salad along with the green onions.
2. To make the dressing, place all ingredients into a glass jar, and shake well. Pour over the salad just before serving.
*NOTE: To roast hazelnuts, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place nuts into a shallow baking dish. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool on a plate before chopping.
Enjoy!
