Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any wilted leaves, then chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Berries

    Rinse the mixed berries under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters. Leave blueberries and raspberries whole. Set aside in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Toast the Pecans

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the chopped pecans. Toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, mixed berries, and toasted pecans. Toss gently to mix.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 6

    Make the Balsamic Vinaigrette

    In another small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat. Drizzle the ranch dressing over the salad according to your taste preference.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Divide the salad into serving bowls. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette if desired and serve immediately.
