INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1‑1/2 teaspoons olive oil

4 cups torn mixed greens
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
10 to 12 thin cucumber slices, cut into halves
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
