Thursday, April 1, 2010

YUM-O...this salad was delicious!! I found these cooked and ready-to-eat beets at Trader Joes, so I picked some up and got the idea to make us a salad for dinner. After picking up a few extra items, I couldn't wait to build this healthy and nutritious salad with a Strawberry Vinegarette! 

Ingredients:
Romaine Leaves - washed and cut    
Microgreens
Beets-cooked, tender, and cold
Goat Cheese with herbs
Raw Sunflower Seeds
Salt & Pepper

Strawberry Vinegarette:
3 Tbsp. EVOO
2 Tbsp. Champagne Vinegar
Strawberries (4-5)
Salt and Pepper
(blend the following ingredients in a food processor and make sure to taste and adjust if needed)
~Place your romaine down on the plate, topped with the microgreens
~Add beets around the edges for presentation purposes
~Then place the goat cheese sporadically all over the salad
~Sprinkle sunflower seeds and salt n pepper, to your liking
Enjoy these lovely in season ingredients in your home tonight!!!
