Strawberry Salad

1 bag of spring salad mix or your favorite greens

4 slices of bacon fully cooked and crumbled (or use the bottled bacon pieces, not Bac-o-bits)

¼ c. cashew or almond pieces

¼ c. Craisins

3 slices of red onion, finely cut, optional

8 oz. fresh sliced strawberries


Adding 2 finely sliced kiwi fruit makes a nice variation. You can also add celery, cucumber, avocado, feta cheese, or mandarin oranges


Dressing:

1 c. mayonnaise

¼ c. milk

1/8 c. balsamic vinegar

1/8 c. sugar

2 heaping T. strawberry jam (I usually use more.)


Mix all ingredients in blender and toss into the salad. This will make more dressing than you need for the salad. Put remaining in fridge.
