| 6 leaves of romaine lettuce 1 apple 1 peach 6 strawberries 1/2 c blueberries 1/2 cucumber, peeled and cut into spears or bitesize chunks |
1/4 lb cheese cut into chunks or thick narrow slices 1/4 lb cooked roast beef, sliced thick and cut into small chunks 1/4 c Italian dressing 1 T apricot jam |
| Mix the jam and Italian dressing until the jam dissolves. Place the cut fruit in a bowl, pour the dressing over it and mix gently. Break stem ends off the lettuce where there is no green leaf beside the stem. Arrange the lettuce leafs flat on 2 luncheon plates. Pour the fruit into the middle of the leaves. Arrange cheese, meat and cucumber around the salad. Substitution suggestions: Try varying the fruits or meat or add crumbled hard boiled egg, sunflower seeds or chopped nuts. Vary the dressing by using different flavors of jam, adding spices or using a yogurt based dressing. Serves 2. |
