[richard-in-cincy]

This very interesting salad was in today's food section as part of an Easter buffet menu. Sounds really good and I thought I'd share:

CHAI SPICE BLEND:

2 teaspoons each cardamom, cinnamon and ground cloves

1 teaspoon white pepper

Mix in small bowl until blended.

VINAIGRETTE:

1/3 cup olive oil

1/3 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon chai spice blend

1/8 teaspoon salt

Mix in small bowl until well blended.

SALAD:

1 package (6 ounces) field greens or baby spinach

2 seedless oranges, peeled and sectioned or sliced

2 cups strawberry halves

½ cup pecan pieces, lightly toasted

Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Toss salad with vinaigrette just before serving. Makes 6 servings

That looks really

really good. I have not seen chai spice other than the tea. Do you know where to find it?
