Fruity Organic Salad

 

Today I made a pledge to eat healthier than normal and made myself a delicious salad for dinner. It had a pleasant but not overwhelming sweetness that I just had to share.

 

To make this particularly tasty salad I used:
•A mixture of organic fresh greens
•Organic blueberries
•Freshly picked strawberries from my garden

 

The dressing was made using a Dark Chocolate Oil with a splash of white wine vinegar. The ratio between oil and vinegar is determined by personal taste.
