The lightly sweet raspberry flavor of the vinaigrette really dresses up this salad. It's a lovely ruby color perfect to serve someone special or just for yourself. —Marcy Cella, L'Anse, Michigan

Sweetheart Salad Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling

Yield: 6 Servings

15 15

Ingredients

RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE:
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon canola oil
SALAD:
1 medium tomato
Sweet red peppers
Assorted salad greens
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Pitted whole ripe olives

Directions

For dressing, combine vinegar and sugar in a pint glass jar. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Add raspberries. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, add water and oil; shake well.
Make a "tomato rose" by taking a sharp knife and slowly peeling a continuous strip around tomato, keeping the peel in one piece. Turn the tomato skin in on itself, forming a rose. With a small heart shaped metal cutter, cut out hearts from red peppers. Place salad greens on a serving platter; place tomato rose in the center and surround with red pepper hearts, cherry tomatoes and olives. Serve dressing with salad. Yield: 6 servings.
