Yankee Doodle Salad

Yankee Doodle Salad

Serves 4

1 head Salad Savoy® (white variety)
2 red bell peppers
1/2 cup blue cheese chunks
1/2 cup blueberries, washed

All-American Vinaigrette
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the All-American Vinaigrette; stir until well combined and set aside.

2. Gently tear the Salad Savoy® into 1-inch pieces, discarding the thicker stems, and arrange on a large platter or 4 individual salad plates.

3. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and the white membrane. Using a 1- to 1-1/2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut stars from the peppers. (If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can cut these free-hand using a paring knife).

4. Arrange the stars over the torn Salad Savoy® and evenly top with blue cheese and blueberries. Drizzle with vinaigrette and enjoy.

Tip: For a fun change-of-pace, feel free to swap out some thin slices of watermelon for the peppers. Cut them into stars, as directed above, and you’ll have a fruitier twist that we’re sure Yankee Doodle would love.
