Summer Salad With Homemade Strawberry Vinaigrette Recipe

Jul 20, 2011 by Tatianna

 

I am a big lover of salads, especially in the summer. It is so freakishly hot here in Florida, that the only things I am even able to eat is salads and fruits. I came up with a great salad dressing recipe, because I can’t seem to find a salad dressing that in the store, that makes love to my taste buds. The one that I make at home sure does :).

I also love goat cheese a lot, and I find many ways to eat it ( check my More Healthy Snacks post ).

Yesterday I went out to eat at a restaurant and the salad there, wasn’t even close to being as good as the one I made at home today.

The recipe:

 

Ingredients ( I forgot to add 2 ingredients to the picture, I will list them instead )

 

 

• Chopped Organic Spinach
• Cooked Chicken Breast
• Green Onions
• Sweet Red Pepper
• Fresh Goat Cheese ( forgot to add to the picture )
• A Hand Full of Walnuts (forgot to add to the picture )

 

The Dressing

• 2 Large Oranges
• Small Bowl Of Strawberries
• Red Wine Vinegar ( to taste )
• Light Olive Oil ( 3 table spoons )

 

 

Chop the Strawberries

 

Add  strawberries to a bowl of squeezed orange juice.

 

 

Add Olive Oil and Wine Vinegar ( to taste )

 

 

Prepare the salad

 

Chop Green Onions and add them to already chopped bowl of spinach ( I like my spinach in small pieces rather than large leaves, it tastes better that way )

 

 

Chop Sweet Pepper into circles and add it to the salad ( it tastes better that way )

 

 

Now also add the chicken breast and the goat cheese.

Pour the ready dressing on top.

 

 

Toss it.

After tossing it, add a little more goat cheese on top for decoration, add the walnuts.
