A Valentine's day salad must, of course, include love apples (tomatoes) but wouldn't it be sweet to have hearts as well? This is a salad fit for the Red Queen or Red King, since only the lettuce is not red. It is made of cherry tomatoes, roasted sweet peppers, sliced morello cherries, sliced carrots, and a bit of romaine lettuce. Watermelon radishes (the pink ones) would be great, or any radish for that matter. Not to mention red leaf lettuce and red cabbage. The dressing, in keeping with the red theme, is a cranberry balsamic vinaigrette.

4T basalmic vinegar
