Ingredients

• ¼ cup strawberry preserves
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine olive oil, preserves, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sea salt in the bowl of a small food processor. Pulse several times, until dressing is combined. Pour into a serving container and set aside.

Step 2

Wash lettuce and dry in a salad spinner. Use some of the outer, larger leaves to line a medium salad bowl, with the red color of the leaves to the outside of the bowl.

Step 3

Tear remaining lettuce leaves and add to the bed of whole leaves. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, and feta cheese crumbles on top of the torn lettuce. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and drizzle with strawberry vinaigrette. Refrigerate any remaining dressing in a sealed container, up to 5 days.
