MIXED GREENS WITH RASPBERRY WALNUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together raspberry preserves, oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
• Arrange lettuce on salad plates. Top lettuce with dressing and walnuts just before serving.
• My tips: I put all the dressing ingredients in a small tupperware container with a screw on lid and just shake. Much easier and quicker than trying to whisk. Or if you are down to the last little bit of preserves in your jar - just add ingredients to the jar, seal and shake. I also add a couple of tablespoons of water to it as well to kind of thin it out. I usually make it in the morning or the night before and have it ready to go by dinner time. I also sometimes add a sprinkle of feta cheese as well.
