Ingredients
4 oz Spring Mix Salad Greens
1 ea Butter Leaf
1 bskt Blueberries
1 bskt Strawberries
1 ea Mango (peel, dice)
1 ea Grapefruit (peel, section)
¼ cup Champagne Vinegar
1 tsp Sugar
¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions
DRESSING
· Put Champagne Vinegar, sugar and ¼ of the Strawberries into a blender. Blend while drizzling the Olive Oil into it.
· When it thickens, or emulsifies, it’s done.
SALAD
· Dice the Mango and Strawberries (leave 4 berries for garnishing).
· Find four inner leaves of the Butter Leaf to form two “cups” which will be placed on top of the Spring Mix. Take the remainder of the Butter Leaf and chop into the Spring Mix.
· Put 2 oz of Spring Mix in the middle of a plate. Place the “cupped” Butter Leaf in the middle of the Spring Mix.
· Mix the diced Mangoes, Strawberries and Blueberries and then place into the middle of the cupped Butter Leaf and onto the Spring Mix.
· Garnish the edges of the plate with Grapefruit sections, a few blueberries and mango chunks.
· Drizzle the dressing over the top.

NOTE: You could freshly grate some Parmesan Cheese on top and toss in some croutons.
NOTE: You could add some chilled giant Shrimp to the salad.


Any guy on the face of the planet can handle preparing this salad for their Valentine. Just make sure you wash your hands before you start cooking.
