Time 15m

Yield 6 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup toasted walnuts
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh chives
4 ounces log of fresh chevre cheese (goat cheese)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
5 cups mixed baby greens
1/2 cup finely julienned red onion
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
1 cup ripe raspberries or 1 cup sliced ripe strawberry
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette:
  • Combine the vinegar, mustard and honey in a small mixing bowl; whisk to combine thoroughly.
  • Add the oils in a slow, steady stream, whisking continuously, until the vinaigrette is creamy and emulsified.
  • Add the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside until needed.
  • For the Chevre:.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
  • Finely chop parsley, chives and walnuts.
  • Season chevre lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Spread parsley/chive/walnut mixture on a plate and roll chevre in it, pressing down lightly to coat it completely.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 10 minutes.
  • Slice chevre into 6 evenly sliced rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in oven until cheese is heated through -- about 5 minutes.
  • For the salad:.
  • Combine the salad greens, onion, walnuts and berries and toss gently to mix.
  • Add just enough dressing to lightly coat each leaf.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mound salad on plates and place one or two rounds of warm chevre on top of each salad and serve immediately.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I used pecans instead. The salad was still delicious.

The walnut vinaigrette was a bit too strong for me, but otherwise the salad was delicious.
