Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix the romaine lettuce, grapes, strawberries, green onions, and optional nuts.
  2. In a pint-sized jar, add the orange juice, rice vinegar, and sugar. Shake and let sit so the sugar can dissolve.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftover salad in an airtight container, but store the dressing separately to maintain the freshness of the romaine lettuce.
  • Freezing: This salad is best enjoyed fresh and should not be frozen as it may become soggy.
  • Pairing: Serve with grilled salmon or shrimp for a delicious dinner option.
  • Extra Toppings: Add feta cheese or goat cheese for a creamy texture that enhances the flavor.
  • Herbs: Experiment with fresh herbs like basil or mint to add a unique twist to the salad.
