Mixed Greens Salad with Berries, Walnuts and Goat Cheese.
Prep Time:20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 6-8 oz baby Arugula, or any mixed greens
  • 1 cup raspberries, rinsed
  • 1 cup strawberries, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup blueberries or blackberries, rinsed
  • 6 oz goat cheese, crumbled

Balsamic Dressing

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, to taste (I use just slightly over 1 Tbsp.)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spread coarsely chopped walnuts in pan and toast for roughly 5 minutes. Watch closely!
  • To a salad bowl, add: Arugula (or mixed greens), washed berries, walnuts, crumbled goat cheese.

To Make Balsamic Dressing

  • To a jar with a lid or a dressing container, add: Juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, to taste, and salt and pepper. Shake vigorously until thoroughly emulsified.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad and carefully toss, being careful not to break-up the berries.
  • If you're adding chicken or shrimp, add just before the final toss.
