Fresh orange mint replaced standard variety of garden mint for a little different twist to the salad. *Fresh herbs only*, please! I don't know any reason why you couldn't substitute other seasonal berries in this salad: raspberries, blackberries, etc. From . Ingredients:
10 -12 ounces romaine lettuce hearts, cored and roughly chopped |
1/3 cup fresh tarragon, chopped |
1/3 cup fresh orange mint leaf, chopped |
12 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered lengthwise |
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled |
1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, cut into thin slices (sprinkle lemon juice to stop the avocado from browning) |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 shallot, peeled and minced |
2 teaspoons honey |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup pistachios, roasted |
