RASPBERRY POPPY SEED SPRINGTIME SALAD:
The little organic farm up the road from Serena’s house has a wonderful variety of salad greens, veggies, eggs and flowers. We always look forward to the season’s crops and enjoy planning meals around them. Our salad features the salad greens and raspberries of the season and makes a great light supper or a lovely lunch with friends.

Salad:

Greens of your choice
Thinly sliced red onions (enough to accent the greens)
Raspberries (enough to accent the greens)

Raspberry Poppy Seed Dressing:

1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Canola Oil
1 tsp. Honey
1 tsp. Raspberry Jam
1/2 tsp. Poppy Seeds
Salt & Pepper to taste

Garnish:

Crumbled Feta Cheese
Sliced Almonds

Tie on your apron, and combine salad ingredients in a pretty bowl. Combine dressing ingredients, and pour desired amount over greens. Toss gently and garnish. Serve promptly, and enjoy.

TIPS:
To keep the dressing from separating, slowly pour the oil into the lemon juice, while whisking rapidly. Whisk in remaining ingredients. The result will be a creamy dressing that won’t separate.
