Good, simple salad recipes?
I really like strawberries and oranges in my salad. Walnuts, cucumbers, nothing hot and spicy. Italian dressing, shredded carrots, croutons, and obviously some type of lettuce. Any salad that sounds like this?
Almond-Orange Salad
3 heads romaine, washed, cleaned, veins removed, chopped
½ cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted
2 oranges, sectioned, reserve juice
Dressing:
¾ cup mild vegetable oil
1/3 cup cider vinegar
½ tsp. Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste
½ tsp. black pepper, or to taste
¼ tsp. almond extract
Reserved orange juice from sectioning oranges
In large bowl, toss together lettuce and oranges. Mix dressing in jar by shaking, or in measuring cup with whisk. Dress salad greens/oranges and toss. Sprinkle on slivered almonds, toss again lightly. Serve immediately.

APPLE, DRIED CHERRY, AND WALNUT SALAD WITH MAPLE DRESSING
Maple Dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar or other white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salad
1 (5-ounce) bag mixed baby greens (about 10 cups lightly packed)
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/2 cup dried tart cherries (or Craisins)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (or pecans)
For dressing: Whisk mayonnaise, maple syrup, vinegar, and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil until mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before using.)
For salad: Toss greens, apples, cherries, and 1/4 cup walnuts in large bowl to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide salad equally among plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and serve.
Makes 6 servings.
