Tonights dinner was SO yummy I'd like to share the recipe with you!

This is from Gooseberry Patch' Cozy Home Cookbook.

SPRING POTLUCK SALAD

spring mix lettuce
sliced strawberries
feta cheese ( or blue cheese if preferred)
chopped walnuts
mandarin oranges
red onion slices
bacon, cooked crisp
raspberry vinaigrette
homemade croutons

Amounts depend on how many you are serving..........I made three plates.

Arrange salad greens on plate.
Top with strawberry slices, small handfull of feta cheese, a tablespoon or two chopped walnuts,
a couple spoonfuls drained mandarin oranges, a couple red onion slices and one or two strips bacon torn into bitesize pieces and homemade croutons. Serve with raspberry vinaigrette. (I served the spray type dressing)

Croutons:
Melt two T of butter and 2 t olive oil in saucepan. Add two chopped garlic cloves.
Melt over low heat.
Tear the crusts off four slices white bread. Cut into small cubes. Add bread to saucepan and let them become golden brown. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.

We really enjoyed this recipe! Hope you do,too!
