Fresh Strawberry & Mango Salad with Strawberry Poppyseed Salad Dressing

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups gem lettuce or bibb lettuce, rinsed and dried
2 cups spinach, rinsed and dried
1 mango, peeled and halved
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pecans, toasted

DRESSING:
Bald Eagle Foods Strawberry Poppyseed Salad Dressing

Directions:
1. Create mango rosettes by slicing each half into very thin pieces. Fan out the slices of one half by slowly moving the slice at an angle on a large cutting board. Do not fully separate slices. Continue moving the slices until one long strip is created and the slices are slightly overlapping. Starting at one end, carefully roll the end slice tightly onto itself (this is the center of the rosette). Continue wrapping the long section of slices into itself until you reach the other end. 

2. In a large bowl, use tongs to lightly toss the Bibb lettuce and spinach with the Bald Eagle Foods Strawberry Poppyseed Salad Dressing. Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss once more (be careful not to over toss or the avocados will begin to break down). 

3. Use a large spatula to lift mango rosettes from the cutting board and onto the top of the salad and serve.
