For my birthday, several of my friends and neighbors got together and wrote down some of their favorite recipes. This one from Annette Q. sounds refreshing. Best in early summer when raspberries are in season.

I'm not a fan of raisins in salads, but I really enjoyed this one. The dressing is amazing!

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lettuce. I added some chopped carrots and celery for extra crunch.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought raspberry dressing and it was still delicious.

The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the salad itself was delicious. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use a different dressing.
