Mild, sweet and delicate oakleaf lettuce pairs wonderfully with slightly bitter radicchio, salty Feta, juicy fruits and paprika cashews in this easy healthy salad. Substitute lollo rosso for red oak leaf lettuce and leave out Feta or use some smoked tofu instead if you want to keep it vegan.

Not is this salad just downright beautiful to look it, it sounds delicious and I have everything for it!!! Actually, I don't have red basil that I know would be excellent, but sweet green basil should work shouldn't it? What an exciting salad!
That is my favorite lettuce! Your salad looks amazing. Such a great combination of flavours.
Cheers,
Rosa
What an incredible mix of flavours Angie and beautiful too.
Have a super day.

How is that you always make the most delicious dishes?
You always bring the most delicious, beautiful and unique salads, Angie. Love all of them and this one is no exception! :)
Angie, I always learn about some new (to me) ingredient when I come by your site - I'd never heard of "oakleaf lettuce" before today. Your salad looks gorgeous - your photos stellar - love the pairing of fruit and salty feta with the mild lettuce.
Wow, looks so fresh and delicious!
This is such a beautiful salad, Angie! I love all the blackberries in here! They sound perfect with the apricots and white balsamic dressing!
Rolling down now, I want this salad please.
What a happy looking salad!!!
So packed with flavors and delicious! I love feta!

Healthy and delicious salad! Have a beautiful weekend!
Angie, what a delicious and beautiful combination! And oakleaf is one of my favorite lettuces.
This is a masterpiece Angie, and I'm so intrigued by the smoked tofu you mentioned, I need to look that up.
What a beautiful salad Angie, love all the colors!
Wow, what a pretty salad. Love all the fruits in there!
What a beautiful salad, Angie! You've again inspired me to be creative with my fruits and vegetables, so for lunch today, I shall design a salad of a half a mango, half an avocado, blueberries, cucumbers, a few roast tomatoes and perhaps some goats cheese! I'm so looking forward to it.
i've never heard of oakleaf lettuce and i don't believe i've unknowingly eaten any either. this is a beautiful salad and absolutely stuffed with things i love!
I love the look of this salad! Very nice and summery!
Gorgeous salad and so many flavors, fruits, nuts, cheese. Not familiar with Red Oakleaf lettuce. Apricots are all over Austria, miss them as they are not as good here.
une salade appétissante plein de couleurs et de saveurs j'adore
bonne soirée
Holy cow, that looks amazing!! The colors are awesome!! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
First, I have to admit I'm so jealous of your fresh apricots! This salad looks fantastic!!!
Apricots and blackberries together in a gorgeous salad! Love the simple dressing of vinegar and oil - no need to cover up all these wonderful flavors. Very pretty Angie! Have a great weekend.
Mouthwatering... and gorgeous! You could eat this one all summer long!
Very nice balance in this salad. We also love the bitterness of radicchio...we often like to grill it give it a little char and to warm it up before chopping into a big salad for a cookout.
Soooo beautiful Angie ! Love blackberries, are one of my favorite berries!!
xoxox
Love the color and flavor combination in your salad. I can almost taste it. :) I guess I better make it this weekend.
I love everything in your salad and so colorful too. I think I have to look out for white balsamic vinegar :) I love balsamic vinegar dressing !
Beautiful salad, Angie. I'm going to have to look for oakleaf lettuce. Love the simple vinaigrette that lets all the salad flavors shine through!
Wow! Such a gorgeous salad and it looks wonderfully delicious.
This salad looks so beautiful and delicious!
You make such great combinations. I tend to stick with bunging whatever I have on a plate and drizzling on the same old dressing. Really love the colours and flavours you've got going on here.
salad is so colorful and attractive
Beautiful and lovely flavors Angie. It looks super delicious.Yum Yum :)
Apricots are one of my most favorite fruits. This is a delicious looking salad. I bet the paprika cashews balance the sweetness of the fruit.
What a stunning salad, Angie! And I have all the ingredients in my fridge. I think I have one of these in my future.
The colors in this salad are amazing!
Ensalada exquisita y atractiva al paladar,saludos y abrazos.
This salad looks so good. I love salads with some fruits and berries in the summertime.
A great combination of apricots and blackberries. A very lovely salad, Angie.
I made your lovely Seasonal tasty colourful healthy salad & loved it so much! I used home-grown blackberries in here! Double yum! xxx
We both have a feta and fruit salad on our blogs today :) I love the idea of using blackberries though.
I love berries in salads and this one looks gorgeous!
Hi Angie♥ This looks awesome! Yummy
I've been starting my mornings with berries, apricots and nuts on yogurt. Now, I will swap out the yogurt for lettuce and add some feta and good to go. Love how summer-pretty it is. Just so happy when the meals speak of the season! Thanks for the inpisration.
"Inspiration" - should have proofed more carefully.
Red Basil, new ingredient for me, salad looks superb..
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful salad, Angie - the most cheerful thing I've seen today!
This is a fresh beautiful salad Angie! So flavorful and perfect for summer. . . I want to eat it outside and watch the sunset.
Beautiful plate of salad! I love everything on that plate!
I'm really getting in to my fruit salads like this at the moment; love the combination of feta and blackberries.
Sweet, salty, bitter - such a good balance of flavors in a simple salad.
Love a salad that screams season and that one totally does! Such vibrant shade and tangy feta is a great touch for that smack.
Omg… this looks so easy and delicious! I’m going to have to try this myself…
What a gorgeous salad Angie! Lots of my favorite elements here. Those blackberries and apricots are beautiful together! And the feta and paprika cashews make this perfection on a plate! LOVE it all! :)

This salad looks wonderful. I've never tried Oakleaf yet.
