Fruit Salade Vinaigrette
Total preparation time: 20 Minutes
Serves: 8Ingredients:
- 1 lb Driscoll Strawberries
- 1/2 lb Green Grapes
- 1/2 lb Red Grapes
- 1 lb Arugula
- 2 cups Orange Segments Fresh or Drained Canned Mandarins
- 5 Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Mediterranean Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Peppercorn Medley Ground
- 1/8 teaspoon Sugar in the Raw
- 1 Fresh Garlic Clove
- 1/4 cup Alessi Raspberry Blush White Balsamic Vinegar
- 3/4 cup Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette by smashing the garlic and the basil leaves together with the mustard, salt, pepper and sugar as if making a pesto. When very well mashed, add the vinegar and blend well. Drizzle in the olive oil, blending to make a vinaigrette.
- Slice strawberries and mix together with washed and dried grapes, and orange segments. Add 1/2 of the vinaigrette. Delicately stir the vinaigrette throughtout the fruits. In a separate bowl, place 1/4 of the vinaigrette with the arugula and toss gently to coat the lettuces. Place altogether on a platter with the fruits and serve with quiche. Great also in little fruit cups making it easy to get to the grapes.
