MIXED GREENS WITH WALNUT AND ROASTED ONION DRESSING
The best part of this salad is the dressing. Its great on any salad and I prefer using big yellow onions that are strong in flavor. Add a bit of goat cheese for extra flavor.

MIXED GREENS WITH RASPBERRY WALNUT DRESSING
This is a Robin Miller recipe from the Food Network show Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller. It is very good if you like sweet dressings. We eat this salad often. If you are like me and do not care for fish, then the walnuts is a great way to get in some Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk together raspberry preserves, oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
- Arrange lettuce on salad plates. Top lettuce with dressing and walnuts just before serving.
- My tips: I put all the dressing ingredients in a small tupperware container with a screw on lid and just shake. Much easier and quicker than trying to whisk. Or if you are down to the last little bit of preserves in your jar - just add ingredients to the jar, seal and shake. I also add a couple of tablespoons of water to it as well to kind of thin it out. I usually make it in the morning or the night before and have it ready to go by dinner time. I also sometimes add a sprinkle of feta cheese as well.
Tips:
- Use a variety of mixed greens: Arugula, baby kale, spinach, and romaine lettuce are all great options.
- Toast the walnuts: This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Roast the onions: Roasting caramelizes the onions and gives them a sweet, smoky flavor.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad immediately: The dressing will wilt the greens if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This mixed greens salad with walnut and roasted onion dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, smoky, and nutty flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try!
