Salad Greens With Oranges, Strawberries and Vanilla Vinaigrette

A delightful salad of mixed greens, oranges and strawberries topped off with a delicious vanilla vinaigrette. I got this recipe from McCormick's Cooking With Flavor cookbook.

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (6 ounce) package salad greens or baby spinach
• 2 seedless oranges, peeled and sectioned or 1 (6 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 2 cups strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup toasted pecan pieces

Directions:

Mix oil. vinegar, vanilla extract, salt, sugar and ground black pepper in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended.

Toss greens with oranges, strawberries and pecans in large bowl (or divide among individual serving plates). Serve with vanilla vinaigrette.
