Bunny Ears Salad for Spring or Easter!

A fun and easy salad with a nod to Easter with “bunny ears” hiding in the salad greens!  Use ready-made palmiers as a short cut from the grocery store and enjoy with an easy recipe for Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette.

I saw this adorable idea for Petite Palmiers

 as Bunny Ears hiding among the salad greens

on Pinterest.

Since we’re eating like bunnies these days with

boating season {yay} aka bathing suit season {shudder}

on the horizon, tucking in a little Palmier among the greens

makes the salad eating a little less painful :)

No recipe for the salad, just a mixture of some mixed baby greens, blueberries, strawberries, and pecans. You can also add some blue cheese crumbles and substitute Sweet-and-Spicy Pecans, making your salad dining a little less bunny-like :)

I made a quick & easy Strawberry Vinaigrette dressing, using a recipe courtesy of Rachael Ray. I mixed up a cup to have on hand instead of 4 servings like the recipe and then made a slight adjustment for flavor.

Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

~ 3 tablespoons strawberry jam

~1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

~3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

~1/2 teaspoon salt

~1/4 teaspoon pepper

Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk in vinegar then extra-virgin olive oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.

Store in a lidded jar in fridge and shake before serving.

My Palmiers came from Target but I’ve also seen them at Trader Joe’s, or you can make your own using Ina Garten’s recipe.
