Salad Ingredients

3 stalks romaine lettuce washed and torn into pieces
1 1/2 pounds strawberries washed and sliced
½ cup sliced red onion
5 ounces crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese
18 ounces blueberries washed and patted dry
1 to 1 ½ cups toasted pecans

For the dressing:

3 tablespoons buttermilk
¾ to 1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons white vinegar
¼ teaspoon sugar
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Dice up your Romaine lettuce or use spinach leaves instead if you want. Wash, chop and prep your lettuce.
Start by making a thick layer of lettuce in the bottom of the glass container. Then top with sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of blueberries. Then you can do a layer of sliced tomatoes, nuts, and cheese.
Go ahead and repeat a whole set of layers again, until you reach the top of your container.
Then decorate with the berries, nuts, and cheese.
If you want to make the homemade dressing for this strawberry salad, just add all the ingredients for the dressing into a mason jar. Add buttermilk, mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
Shake the mixture or whisk it well. Then you can use it to pour over your salad.
This layered salad is gorgeous but also delicious to serve up.

Notes

You can use artificial sweetener to replace the sugar.

Skip the dressing and do a vinaigrette style if you want.

You can use spinach leaves or other types of greens if you want.

Change up the ingredients you use in the salad if you want a change. Mandarin oranges, skip the red onions, add peas, etc.

Store this salad in an airtight container or covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.

If you mix in the salad dressing with salad, it will wilt and spoil within 24 hours of being mixed up.
