No, I don’t put turtle in this salad.
I got this salad idea from a local restaurant named “Turtles”. They take a basic bowl of chopped lettuce and top it with corn, beans, olives, beets, onions and tomatoes. It is so simple, yet, surprisingly satisfying. The combination makes for a delicious well balanced salad that is high in protein and fiber rich, all pulled together with a raspberry vinaigrette.
Seedless raspberry jam is the secret ingredient for my raspberry vinaigrette recipe. It not only brings out a full raspberry flavor, it also keeps the dressing from separating.
