Green and Blue Salad

First, I have to thank my labmate, Erin, for this awesome recipe. To me, this is the quintessential summer salad. Super light, and the homemade dressing is zingy and refreshing.

Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
-1/2 head of Romaine lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
-3/4 Granny Smith apple, chopped into bite size pieces
-1 head of green onions, diced
-1 cucumber, diced
-1 green bell pepper, diced
-4 stalks of celery, diced
-1 large handful of golden raisins
~5 oz crumbled blue cheese
-2 Morningstar Farms Chik Patties Original (optional)

Dressing ingredients
-1/2 C lemonade
-1T fresh lemon juice
-1T apple cider vinegar
-1T EVOO
-2T honey
-1tsp Tabasco (or more if you like it spicy)
-salt and pepper

1. Chop all salad ingredients and toss in a large bowl.
2. Whisk dressing ingredients.
3. Heat chik patties for 15 minutes in a toaster oven.
4. Drizzle dressing on salad and serve with chopped up chik patties.
Note: I recommend keeping the dressing separate and storing in a Tupperware and just adding it as you go...that way the salad keeps for several days.
