This sweet, tangy salad has lots of plate appeal with its colorful ingredients. Make the dressing in advance if you choose. Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 small shallot, peeled and chopped |
2 small cloves garlic, peeled |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1 head red lettuce leaves, rinsed, dried, and torn |
1/2 small red onion, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-wide slivers |
1/4 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted |
1 pint fresh strawberries, rinsed and sliced |
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese |
Directions:
1. To make the dressing, place the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a mini food processor. Pulse until blended. Slowly pour in the olive oil, and pulse again until thoroughly blended. Set aside or refrigerate until needed.
2. Divide lettuce between 6 serving plates, and top with red onion, almonds, strawberries, and feta cheese. Serve dressing on the side.
