Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine salad ingredients. Blend dressing ingredients in blender. Toss greens and berries with dressing and serve immediately.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve this pretty salad with open faced melted cheese croissants. Using whole wheat croissants, slice them down the middle, add whatever sliced cheese you have laying around the fridge and broil the croissants till hot and bubbly. Or serve croissants with cold sliced cheese if the weather is too hot and skip the broiling.
