Frosted Raspberry Salad Recipe

The “frosted” raspberries and the sweet almonds make this a special salad for a special day. I like that this recipe incorporates the Valentine’s Day color of red. You can visit our Valentine’s Day Symbols page to learn more about the symbolism and meaning of the color red for Valentine’s Day.

Ingredients:

Mixed Greens
Frozen Raspberries
Slivered Almonds
Sugar
Strawberry Syrup*

Directions:

1. Warm slivered almonds in a pan over medium heat.

2. Add 1 T. of sugar for every 1/4 c. of almonds. Stir until sugar becomes a golden brown liquid and begins to coat almonds. Pour almonds onto aluminum foil and allow to cool (sugar will harden).

3. Toss lettuce with frozen raspberries and almonds. Drizzle with strawberry syrup.

*To make your own berry syrup, combine 1 cup berry juice (100% juice), 2/3 cup sugar, and 2 t. cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place in refrigerator to chill.
