Lovely Raspberry Spinach Salad

This salad is absolutely delious!! So do yourself a flavor (I've always wanted to say that ~~ yep I know very corny :0) and try this one out.

Raspberry Spinach Salad

1/2 package fresh baby spinach
1/2 package sweet butter lettuce (or lettuce of your choice)
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup pecans, toasted
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup minced fresh mint
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing:

3 Tbl lemon juice
2 Tbl olive oil
2 tsp honey
dash salt and pepper

In a large salad bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until blended and heated through. Let cool for a few minutes. Pour about half over salad (or to your liking) and sprinkle with feta cheese.

Note: To toast pecans. Heat oven to 350 degrees and put pecans on a baking sheet. (I use whole pecans and the entire package of pecans, then I chop what I need and store the rest in a glass container with lid.) Bake for 10 mins being careful to check periodically, to be sure they don't burn.

This is a lovely salad as well as really good and flavorful. It is wonderful served along side the Hashbrown Quiche and Cherry Limeade Punch. Enjoy!!
