Ingredients
- 2 heads Butter lettuce
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 0.5 cup Mandarin orange segments (canned or fresh)
- 0.25 cup Almonds (sliced or slivered)
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
Wash the butter lettuce thoroughly, pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel, and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Rinse the strawberries and blueberries. Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces. Add the strawberries, blueberries, and mandarin orange segments to the salad bowl.
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool before adding them to the salad bowl.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, raspberry jam, salt, and black pepper to create the fruit lemonade dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, fruity salad!
