One of the tastiest greens in my opinion has to be arugula. It is crisp, peppery, and slightly bitter. This salad is similar to a version they make at Il Fornaio Italian restaurant (Insalata Bertola). The beets add a little sweetness, the goat cheese adds creaminess, and the walnuts add crunch. This is my favorite salad!
salad:
1 package arugula
2 beets, boiled and juilienned (red or golden)
1/2 package goat cheese, crumbled
handfull of chopped walnuts
dressing:
in food processor mix, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 TBSP red wine vinegar, 1 TBSP dijon mustard, 1 TBSP lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
*These are approximate measurements, I add everything to taste.
Mix until it's dressing consistency, and toss into salad!
Add beets to salad, then add cheese crumbles and walnuts on top.
That sounds delicious. I wonder if Paul can be coaxed into the whole beet thing. Methinks so!
