Thanksgiving Green Salad
Serves 10 to 12
Time 15 min
This recipe has earned its name since the salad features ingredients that can be easily prepared Thanksgiving morning, arranged in a cooler and driven for more than 100 miles, then assembled on site. It's a blessing for folks who have to travel on Thanksgiving Day, but enjoy it all year round, too.

Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Method
To make vinaigrette, combine raspberries, balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a blender. Mix until smooth and set aside.
