Raspberry Mango Salad

The fruit cakes in us all love fruity salads in the summer - here is a fun one where the fruit takes an important role as the dressing too!

5 servings

1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries or blueberries, divided
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 small clove of garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 cups mixed greens
1 ripe mango, diced (make sure it is ripe - otherwise they are hard to chew!)
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup toasted chipped hazelnuts or slivered almonds

1. Puree 1/2 cup berries (raspberries or blueberries), oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper in a food processor.
2. Combine greens with mango, avocado, starberries and onion in large bowl. Poor dressing over and toss to coat.
Divide onto 5 plates and top with remaining berries and sprinkle with nuts OR nuts and remaining berries can be added to salad for self serve.
ENJOY!!!
