Spring Salad Platter


Beautiful colourful ingredients deserve a large platter.  Look for a large platter with deep sides and then simply layer your salad greens  and vegetables and garnish the top with beautiful fruit.

  • salad greens Romaine lettuce, Butter lettuce, Baby Spinach, Raddichio 
  • red onion rings
  • sliced cucumber 
  • sliced avocado
  • sliced strawberries
  • diced papaya 
Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons papaya seeds scooped out with a large spoon along with a large scoop of papaya (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 inch thick round slice of red onion
  • fresh cut garden chives (a bunch about the thickness of a stalk of celery)
  • 1/3 cup liquid honey
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup tarragon vinegar
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until papaya seeds are finely ground. Store in refrigerator until serving time.  Drizzle half of dressing over the salad and place the remaining dressing in a serving bowl on the table.
