Notes: Basil-flavor olive oil is available in well-stocked supermarkets and specialty food shops. If making vinaigrette (step 1) up to 2 hours ahead, cover and let stand at room temperature. Ingredients:
2/3 cup dried cranberries |
2 tablespoons chopped dried apricots |
6 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1/4 cup basil-flavor or plain extra-virgin olive oil |
4 quarts salad mix (about 12 oz.), rinsed and crisped |
4 ounces fresh chèvre (goat) cheese, coarsely crumbled |
1 cup blueberries, rinsed and drained |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a 2-cup glass measure or small microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cranberries, apricots, and vinegar. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until steaming, about 1 minute. Let stand at room temperature or chill until cool.
2. In a blender or food processor, whirl fruit mixture until smooth. Pour purée back into glass measure; add oil and whisk to blend.
3. Put greens in a wide, shallow bowl. Add 2/3 of the vinaigrette and mix gently to coat. Scatter cheese, blueberries, and remaining cranberries evenly over greens. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Add salt and pepper to taste.
