Summer brings more family time. Summer entertaining can be difficult for busy moms, who may need to take impromptu trips on the beach, have picnics outside, or grill in their backyard. Libby’s fruits and veggies, which has the mission to help families get back on the table, can be a great resource.
It’s possible to put together a tasty meal without spending too much time in the kitchen. This easy recipe makes a fruit salad, but it adds a touch of class to the dinner table. Your dinner table will look just as elegant as you if it has a salad that everyone can enjoy.
Butter Lettuce, Fruit
Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing
Serves four
2 heads butter lettuce
1 15-ounce can Libby’s Sliced Peaches in Pear Juice concentrate
1 15-ounce can Libby’s Sliced pears in Pear Juice concentrate
1 6-ounce low-fat lemon yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup toasted halves of pecans
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Take out the outer leaves. Each head should be cut in half, starting at the stem end. To rinse the halved heads, soak them in cold water. To remove excess water, shake the lettuce.
Remove the core from the lettuce. Place the leaves into a large bowl. Add the peaches and the pears to a large bowl. Add the reserved juice to the yogurt and season with salt and pepper.
Toss the fruit and lettuce with the yogurt mixture. Toss the lettuce in a large salad bowl, or on four salad plates. Place the fruit on top. Add pecans and chives to the salad.
