Winter Greens Salad With Orange Vinaigrette
When we begin to transition into the deep cold of winter, nothing is better than a great Winter Greens Salad with some lovely winter fruits and a great vinaigrette. The salad mix that I am using today is really one of my favorites, and although it is a winter mix it is delicious the year round. We still have winter greens in our garden so it is nice to take a brisk walk to the garden and come back with some wonderful fresh greens for a salad. There are so many options to this salad but today I am using a combination of wonderful winter fruits with the greens.

This looks so good! =) Thanks for sharing the recipes!
ReplyDeleteI love a green salad that is loaded with fruit. I'm a bit jealous that you still have greens in the garden. I tried to snip a few chives from my herb garden a few weeks ago and they broke right of in my hands because they were frozen!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get blackberries in winter? That salad looks amazing! Thanks for sharing at the What's for Dinner party!
ReplyDeleteOur local market carries them the year round, they have a great selection of fruits and vegetables. We love this salad, hope you have a chance to try it and thanks so much for stopping by!
