Something Yummy & Healthy [Winter Fruit with Baby Greens and Champagne Vinaigrette]

Since everyone else is posting Superbowl YUMMINESS, I thought I'd post something we can all enjoy for Monday night to try to undo where we will no doubt go tomorrow!
Beauty & Brains as they say.

This is a fabulous salad, a lot going on but super easy and everything is in season.  That said, I'm not going to lie... I use bagged lettuce.  There really is no cost effective way to get a fabulous assortment of lettuces otherwise in my opinion.  I own it.  


This recipe is a dinner salad for 4..... that doesn't mean a grilled chicken breast wouldn't accompany it beautifully if you need some protein.

Winter Fruit with Baby Greens Salad

1 bag assorted baby lettuce

1 bag baby spinach

2 clementines peeled, sectioned and then cut in half

1/2 pint strawberries sliced

1 kiwi thin sliced [and cut into heart shapes with a canape cutter if you are a loon like me]

1/2 cup candied almond slivers [Click Here for recipe from yesterday]

Champagne Vinaigrette

1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/4 cup champagne vinegar

2 TBSP lemon juice

2 TBSP honey

1 clove garlic minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

I toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette THEN toss the fruit in..... but that's just me.  ENJOY!  Guilt free :)


p.s. I've been challenged to bake the WOW Red Velvet Brownie.... tomorrow is going to be REALLY fattening!
