Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Raspberry wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups Mesclun salad green
2 tablespoons chives, sliced 1/2-inch
5 - 6 large strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
3-inch ring mould (I use an empty 29 ounce fruit can with both ends removed)
Instruction:
For the dressing, combine in a small
bowl olive oil, raspberry wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper; set aside.
In a medium bowl combine mesclun greens, chives, fresh strawberries and
toasted pine nuts.
Place a 3-inch ring mould on each plate (I use a tuna can with both ends removed)

with the salad dressing, remove the ring mould and serve this beautiful delicious mesclun creation.
