The tangy taste of the dressing combines well with the fruit in this salad. It's flavoursome and healthy to boot.

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

4 eggs
4 cups mixed greens
ham, turkey, Swiss, cheddar, etc. sliced meats and cheeses, a slice or two of each per serving
2 bananas sliced lengthwise
8-12 strawberries sliced
½ lemon juice

Dressing Ingredients

2 Tbsp orange marmalade or cherry jam or other jam/preserves
1 Tbsp onion chopped
1 tsp garlic chopped
1 tsp jalapeno chopped
1 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
½ cup white or apple cider vinegar
½ cup canola oil

Instructions

To hard-boil eggs: Put whole eggs in a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and let them cook for approximately 10 minutes. Remove eggs and rinse in cold water before peeling. If you are not using the eggs immediately, wait to peel them and cut into halves.
To make the dressing: Place all the ingredients except oil in a blender. Turn on motor to a low speed and carefully drizzle in oil until a nice thick consistency is reached. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar. (Makes enough for at least 8 servings. Keep left over dressing in the fridge for up to 4 days.)
Toss greens in a bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt.
