Almond Raspberry Tossed Salad

Teresa Ambra
Almond Raspberry Tossed Salad is such a delightfully refreshing side dish. This recipe uses only 4 ingredients for the salad and 4 for the salad dressing, so it's quick and easy to whip up. It's a great salad for summer, Ladies' Luncheons, backyard barbecues or company dinners. If you enjoy Tossed Salads with fruit, this is a scrumptious way to get your veggies and fruit!

Notes

NOTE: The salad dressing is tangy. I increased the honey by ¼ cup from the original recipe. If you desire a sweeter dressing, however, and one not quite as tangy, decrease the vinegar to 3 tablespoons.
