Spring Green Fruit Salad with White Chocolate Dressing

I found this salad recipe that has white chocolate vinaigrette dressing. For our next Enrichment Night we are having an all-chocolate dinner and we needed a semi-healthy course that included chocolate. My husband doesn't care for fruit salad and the fact that he actually loved this recipe makes me rate it a 5!!!


Salad:
1 (15 ounce) can Mandarin oranges (reserve juice for dressing below)
5 ounces pre-washed spring greens
2 cups fresh strawberries, quartered
1/2 pint blueberries (optional)


Dressing:
1/4 cup Champagne wine vinegar (I just used wine vinegar)
1/3 cup reserved Mandarin orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup white chocolate chips (I used more than 1/4 cup for a sweeter taste)
3 tablespoons olive oil


Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine vinegar, reserved orange juice, salt and sugar. Gently heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate until melted. Set aside to cool. Do not refrigerate as chocolate will set. Before serving, slowly whisk in oilve oil. Serve dressing tossed in salad or on the side.
