MIXED GREENS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Mixed Greens with Blue Cheese Dressing image

I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce. This salad is our favorite to serve with a baked chicken casserole. It's also perfect for potlucks-just toss the dressing with vegetables right before serving.

Spring green salad with parsley & blue cheese image

Serve this vibrant salad with blue cheese as a light supper or side dish. Kale or chard will also work in place of the spring greens

Provided by Samuel Goldsmith

Categories     Buffet, Lunch, Side dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

300g baby leaf spring greens, any tough stalks removed, leaves finely sliced
½ large bunch of parsley, chopped
250g ready-cooked quinoa
1 small red onion, finely sliced
100g blue cheese, crumbled (ensure vegetarian if needed)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
35g walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the kettle on to boil. Tip the spring greens into a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water from the kettle, then leave to stand for 2 mins to soften slightly. Drain well, then tip onto a plate lined with kitchen paper. Spread the greens out in a single layer so the paper can absorb as much of the excess water as possible. Leave to cool for 2 mins.
  • Meanwhile, toss the parsley, quinoa and red onions together. Mix in the spring greens, then scatter over the cheese and toss gently with your hands to combine.
  • Whisk the lemon zest and juice, the mustard and rapeseed oil together in a jug to make a dressing. Pour this over the spring green salad and toss gently to combine. Tip the salad onto a large serving platter or spoon into individual bowls and scatter over the walnuts, if using. Serve immediately.
