This salad is served at every family function from B-days to Thanksgiving! I don't know the origin of it, my mom started making it from when we were all very little. It's a MUST HAVE at my house! Don't substitute the ingredients, though, it won't turn out. Been there, tried it, failed, lol. It's awesome just as is!!!!

Raspberry Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing image

Sick and tired of trying bottle after bottle of dressing, and not finding anything that came even close to my favorite restaurant-inspired salad, this recipe allows me to have simple, delicious salad anytime, with only a few simple ingredients. Tastes amazing on salad with fruit (apples are my favorite), or even as a bread dip!

SIMPLY ELEGANT SALAD WITH BALSAMIC RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE



Simply Elegant Salad With Balsamic Raspberry Vinaigrette image

I came up with this salad one day and loved it! Now I bring this salad to dinner parties and it's always a huge hit. The two different vinaigrettes mixed together are a perfect combination of sweet, tart and tangy. For dinner parties with people I don't know well I usually leave the almonds and dressing on the side in case anyone has food allergies; only once has anyone passed on the almonds and dressing. This salad is also great topped with grilled chicken to make the salad a complete dinner.
