I'm co-hosting one of my best girlfriends bridal shower tomorrow and I'm doing all my prep and cooking today. I thought I'd re-post one of the salads I'm making. It's on of my "go-to" salads for parties; everyone always loves it. It's unique and approachable at the same time. Enjoy!

This salad is always a huge hit anytime I serve it! It's just plain yummy! It has everything in it, so what's not to love? This is great for a party or large crowd too.
I now call this salad the "Rainbow Salad" but it's prior name was "the everything salad". Basically because it was everything in my refrigerator one day so I decided to throw it all in a bowl and voila! A super tasty fresh salad!
Rainbow Salad
What you'll need:
Mixed greens
1 yellow bell pepper
a few handfuls of strawberries, quartered
a few handfuls of blueberries
1 can or a few fresh mandarin oranges, segmented
1 avocado, diced
fresh mozzarella, torn (omit if making vegan)
a few handfuls of pignoli {pine} nuts
raspberry dressing {you could use store bought, but of course I like making it homemade best}
What you'll do:
I use a large shallow bowl for this simply for presentation purposes, but if you want to use a deeper bowl and toss it you can. Toss or layer all the ingredients and top with the raspberry dressing. Easy Peasy!
This looks like a great salad! I really like how there are so many fruits in it! Raspberry Vinaigrette sounds delicious!
