Jaden Mediterranean Salad





Quick-cooking couscous and colorful garnishes such as dried cranberries and candied pecans make this a deliciously satisfying salad.

Mediterranean Dressing:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil pressed with lemons
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 packet Jaden Chinese Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix

Salad:
1 heart romaine lettuce, chopped
1 head butter lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup cooked couscous
1/2 cup sweet grape tomatoes
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Optional extras:
Candied pecans
Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Place dressing ingredients in a cruet or small jar and shake until blended. Place lettuces, couscous, tomatoes and cranberries in a medium salad bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. Sprinkle with candied pecans or pepitas, if you like.

Makes 6 servings.
