Spring Razzmatazz

I cooked up a storm today and thought about kicking off the 2010 cooking marathon with one of those recipes.

This is a spring medley of greens and fruits, combined. The color and combination of ingredients makes it interesting for kids and adults, alike. One of the easiest salads to put together.

Recipe:

Spring greens – 2 cups
Orange – 1 (can use any citrus fruit instead)
Strawberries – 10
Crumbled blue cheese – 1 ½ tablespoon (Feta cheese or any other cheese may be used instead)
Olive oil – t tablespoon
Lemon juice – ½ tablespoon
Salt and Freshly ground pepper – to taste

• Mix the salad greens. Cut the oranges in rounds, making sure the white portion and seeds, if any, are removed.
• Cut the strawberries vertically into 4 pieces.
• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and freshly ground pepper to make the salad dressing.
• Arrange greens on a salad plate, top it with oranges and strawberries.
• Add salad dressing and top it with crumbled blue cheese.

Enjoy!
