Another delicious salad recipe from . The original recipe specified the farm's own brand of lime-infused olive oil so I had to go find a suitable lime vinaigrette instead. Ingredients:
6 cups mixed salad greens or 6 cups romaine lettuce, shredded, your choice |
3/4 cup feta, crumbled |
1/2 cup fresh jicama, peeled and grated |
1/2 cup fresh carrot, peeled and grated |
1/2 cup red onion, cut into crescents |
2 -3 tablespoons fresh mint or 2 -3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
3 tablespoons lime juice (to taste) |
1 teaspoon lime zest, minced |
1/4 teaspoon raw sugar |
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar |
1 dash garlic powder (salt-free) |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a small glass bowl and set aside.
2. Wash the greens well to remove any dirt and spin dry in salad spinner. Place the greens on a large serving platter.
3. Layer the feta, jicama, carrots and red onion crescents on top of the greens in rows.
4. Drizzle mixture with the lime vinaigrette* and sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Garnish with mint leaves or cilantro.
5. *Note: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad just before ready to serve! Whisk vinaigrette thoroughly before serving.
