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.

I found palmiers at Target but I’ve also seen them at Trader Joe’s,

or you can make your own using Ina Garten’s recipe.
