UNIQUE FRUITY GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Stir together water and sugar in a skillet over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds, toss to coat, and cook and stir until the almonds are brown. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, gently toss together the almonds, lettuce, avocado, orange segments and onion, and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, salt, vinegar, mustard and poppy seeds. Pour over the salad mixture and toss to coat.

FRUITY GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the first six ingredients; shake well. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

ISLAND FRUIT AND MIXED GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• Whisk together the pineapple juice, red wine vinegar, shallot and salt and pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil. Taste, for seasoning.
• For the salad:
• In a large salad bowl, toss together the mango, papaya, cranberries, banana chips and macadamia nuts with 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the mizuna on a large serving tray and top with the mixed fruit. (The salad greens hold up longer if only the fruit is tossed with the vinaigrette. However, if serving promptly, combine the greens and the fruit and toss with the vinaigrette.) Drizzle the salad with the extra dressing or serve on the side.

GREEN FRUIT SALAD WITH LIME AND HONEY

Steps:

• Arrange apple, cucumber, and melon on a platter. Fill in spaces with grapes and star fruits.
• In a small bowl, stir together honey and lime juice until smooth. Drizzle over fruit (especially apple, to prevent browning). Serve immediately, or wrap in plastic and refrigerate up to 4 hours. Top with mint and basil before serving.

MIXED GREENS AND FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, mixed together mixed greens, mushrooms, zucchini and fruit.
• In a jar combine the dressing ingredients; cover and shake until combined.
• Pour over salad just before serving, toss to coat.

SPRING SALAD WITH FRUIT, FETA, AND PECANS

Steps:

• 1. Raspberry Vinaigrette: Blend all ingredients together well, (a small whisk works great). Drizzle over salad just before serving.
• 2. Wash and dry the greens well, then just before serving, plate each individual salad bowl with the greens.
• 3. Divide the oranges, strawberries, feta cheese and chopped pecans onto each plate for a beautiful presentation. (The pecans can be toasted for a nuttier flavor, if desired.)
• 4. Lightly drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving, and put the rest of it on the table in case anyone wants more with their salad.

GREENS 'N' FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, orange juice and zest. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Refrigerate leftover dressing.
