I think this recipe came out of the Costco magazine.  It was good and very easy.  First you do not need to buy Balsamic vinaigrette.  The following Is all you need.  I put it the bottom of the salad bowl first and whisked it up.  

Ingredients:

2 T Balsamic Vinegar

1t Shallots

3 T Canola oil

2 T EVOO

Salads seem even better in the winter.  Maybe our bodies crave more vegetables.  Actually it is raining here.  One day 9” of snow and zero degree temps.  Next day, raining and 50 degrees F.  We had leftover chicken, I threw it in the salad so Jim had meat!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 C corn kernels, fresh or frozen

6 oz. balsamic vinaigrette

6 oz. baby spinach

1 C watermelon, cut in 1/2’ Cubes

2 avocados, pitted, peeled and diced

10 oz. cherry tomatoes

salt and pepper

1/2 C sunflower seeds, roasted or raw

Directions:

1. Char the corn by sautéing in a dry skillet for 3-5 minutes.  Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.  (I roasted the sunflower seeds in the skillet next.)
2. Not a large salad bowl, whisk the balsamic vinaigrette.
3. Add all ingredients except sunflower seeds.  Stir to gently to coat evenly.  
4. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds.
