Recipe View 2 mins Dress and Serve: Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated. Serve immediately to prevent the greens from wilting.

For a more intense flavor, try using aged balsamic vinegar.
To prevent the red onion from being too overpowering, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain well before adding it to the salad.
If you don't have raspberry vinegar, you can substitute it with red wine vinegar and a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
This salad is best served fresh. If making ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving.

    A perfect summer salad! Easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I sometimes add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.

    I never thought I'd like blue cheese in a salad, but this recipe changed my mind! The sweetness of the strawberries balances the sharpness of the cheese perfectly.
