Notes
The nutrition calculation is for the salad only. Two tablespoons of dressing add 70 calories, 5 grams of fat, 7 grams of carbs, and 6 grams of sugar. I usually serve the dressing on the side so each person can add their own to taste.
A few of my favorite store-bought dressings for this salad are Newman's Own Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette, Briannas Raspberry Poppyseed Dressing, and Marie's Raspberry Vinaigrette. You can always go with your favorite vinaigrette dressing here. Homemade Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette and Creamy Balsamic are delicious here, too.
