I prefer to use a small food processor to mix the salad dressing ingredients
but you can easily whisk them in a medium bowl too.
One cup of Raspberry Jam adds a delicious tart sweetness and beautiful vibrate color to the salad!
This recipe calls for 2 cups of thinly sliced mushrooms.
It only took me 3-4 large white sliced mushrooms to get that amount!
Here’s a tip on saving time and money!
Buy Real Bacon Pieces or Bits instead of buying and cooking whole slices of bacon and then dicing it. They are great in salads and fondue!
Whenever we eat at The Melting Pot we top our salads with cracked black pepper and The Melting Pot’s own Garlic and Wine Seasoning.
You can purchase your own at any Melting Pot restaurant or on their website www.meltingpot.com
