Are we loving the alliteration? No? Just me then...

We’ve been receiving some pretty amazing fresh stawberries in our csa lately, just ripe for the recipe making. While they are absolutely perfect plain, combining them with lettuce, onions and pistachio’s make them absolutely perfect for a bbq side salad!

Ingredients:

1 head red romaine lettuce, washed and torn

1 head butter lettuce, washed and torn

1 carton fresh strawberries, sliced

1 bunch (about 6) spring onions, primarily the light green part 

1/2 cup pistachios, shelled 

1/2 cup pomegranate vinegar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1-2 tsp sugar, adjusted to taste depending on sweetness of vinegar 

pinch of sea salt

Directions:

In a lidded jar combine vinegar, oil, sugar and salt together by shaking.

Place lettuce in a large bowl. Toss with just enough dressing to coat leaves. Sprinkle strawberries, onions and pistachios on top.
