Make dressing of choice (or make both!) and chill til serving time. Gently wash and dry greens. Arrange on pretty plates.
Divide remaining ingredients equally among plates, arranging decoratively.
Refrigerate til serving time.
Pass dressing(s) at the table.
VARIATION: Can also at the table, toss all salad ingredients in a large bowl together with dressing(s). Serve on chilled salad plates.
RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE: In a mini processor or blender, combine all ingredients. Cover tightly and chill til serving time. Before serving, process again briefly if separate. YIELD: Approximately ¾ cup FRESH ITALIAN VINAIGRETTE: In a food processor or blender, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, mustard and sugar. Process til well blended. Cover tightly and chill. Can store for several days in refrigerator...just process again briefly to recombine ingredients. YIELD: Approximately 1 cup
NOTES : * I like to use a combination of baby lettuces, frisee, arugula, radicchio, spinach, red chard, etc. to provide a balance of sweet with bitter greens. The prepackaged ones are also excellent if VERY fresh.
