I’ve been eating this salad (wait, stay with me here) every day for lunch, and I just had to share it, because it’s that good. I have never been a salad lover, but I most certainly am a lover of garlic, balsamic vinegar, and gorgonzola cheese. I feel so virtuous eating this, it’s actually getting a vegetable into me, and I love, love, love it. I’m tellin ya, every day.
Cranberries, Walnuts and Crumbled Cheese Over Greens
Dressing Ingredients
1 T olive oil
1T balsamic vinegar
1/2 t dijon mustard (I’ve been using stone ground – it’s what I’ve got)
1 clove minced or crushed garlic
1/4 t soy sauce
salt and pepper (optional)
Salad Ingredients
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup walnuts, raw or (yum) pan-toasted
1/2 cup crumbled feta or gorgonzola (my favorite)
I mix up the dressing and the salad and keep both in the fridge, then when I’m ready for lunch I fill a huge bowl with bagged salad mix of any kind on hand, add 1/2 of the dressing and 1/2 of the cheese mix, and eat! This will get you a no-brainer lunch for two days. I follow mine up with soup. Trust me, you’re gonna love this. It’s like green fudge.
Enjoy!
