Mixed Greens and Fruit Salad w/ Raspberry-Orange Dressing

Made this Salad tonight for some friends to enjoy...THEY LOVED IT and I know you will too!

MIXED GREENS AND FRUIT SALAD WITH RASPBERRY-ORANGE VINAIGRETTE:

8 cups torn mixed greens (spring mix)
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 (11-oz,) can mandarin oranges, drained
3/4 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
1/4 tsp. salt
Toasted sliced almonds (opt.)

Gently toss mixed greens, sliced strawberries, drained oranges, and celery in a large bowl. Combine oil, vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds, orange rind and salt in a small mixing bowl; stirring with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. Pour over greens and toss gently.
Option: Sprinkle toasted almonds just before serving.
