Tangy berries complement the sweet crunch
of SpringSweet onions in this low-fat, healthful salad.
1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tbsp. raspberry vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. fresh cilantro, parsley or mint, chopped
1 tsp. olive oil
2 cups Texas SpringSweet or Texas 1015 SuperSweet onions, thinly
sliced and separated into rings
4 cups assorted salad greens
1 cup fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries
In a small bowl, combine yogurt and vinegar;
add salt, mustard, garlic and cilantro. Slowly add oil, whisking
just until blended. Combine onion rings and 2 to 3 tablespoons
dressing. Toss to coat well. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine
onion rings, salad greens and dressing. Toss until greens are
well-coated. Gently stir in raspberries. Or, toss greens with
remaining dressing; arrange on individual salad plates and top
with onion rings and raspberries. Serve at once.
