The Virginia Green Grocer brought us a beautiful salad mix and delicious fresh onions.

-Wash salad

-Cut up one onion and add to salad.

-Added 3/4 cup cashews from VitalChoice.com (these are outstanding)

-Then I added the raspberry vinaigrette from the Vitamix cookbook (see below). I had a little trouble with this recipe. I used the apple cider vinegar and it overpowered the entire recipe. I also added the full amount of honey. This became a problem because I had to add 1/2 jar of raspberry jelly to counteract the overpowering vinegar. Unfortunately, the honey was also an overpowering flavor and it wasn’t necessary once I added the jelly. By the time I was done it was pretty tasty; however, much higher in sugar than I would prefer between the honey and the jelly…
