Strawberry Raspberry Salad

This mixed greens salad is dressed in a homemade strawberry and raspberry dressing. The color from the dressing is a vibrant red and really pops next to the lettuce. The taste is sweet but with a slight tartness. This salad is refreshing and a great new alternative. The addition of fresh berries makes me think of summer even though the weather is telling me otherwise.

I could see having this for lunch or as a side dish with dinner like I did last night with the Classic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes. Meatless Monday accomplished. The Strawberry Raspberry Salad is so quick and easy to whip together. The food processor does the work for you.
