Summer Salad

Summer Salad              

(Made by Trudy Bishop’s family Very good)

This recipe can be modified a number of ways and still be great. Substitute whatever fruit or lettuce you may have on hand. Choose at least three of them. I also like to throw in raspberries or Strawberries.

I also like to use grilled or marinated chicken.

1 head red leaf lettuce,  1 bag baby spinach, 1 bag European blend, 1 head iceberg

Add to lettuce just before serving.

                2 chopped small apples

                1 large can mandarin oranges (or can use fresh orange slices)

                1 cup. Cran-raisins

                ½ red onion thinly sliced

                6-8 slices bacon, chopped up

                2-4 cups cooked chicken

                1 cup grated Mozzarella Cheese

                1 cut caramelized slivered almonds

                    (In a heavy saucepan put 1 cup sugar: liquefy on medium heat. Add 1 cup slivered almonds and remove quickly from heat. Pour out to cool.)

Dressing—Mix in Blender

1 cup red wine vinegar

2/4 cup virgin oil

1 cup sugar

1/3 red onion (you may want to start with less and add more if needed)

½ tsp. ground pepper

Mix all ingredients together for dressing pour over salad just before serving.
