Baby Spinach With Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 6 c. baby spinach
- 1/2 c. goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 pt fresh raspberries
- 1/4 c. sliced almonds
- 2 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 x cloves garlic, chopped
- 2/3 c. raspberry vinegar
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 Tbsp. shallots, finely minced Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Combine spinach, goat cheese raspberries and almonds in a large bowl. In a cruet, combine extra virgin olive oil, garlic, raspberry vinegar, dry mustard, shallots and salt and pepper and shake well. Pour over salad and toss just before serving. We love the baby spinach and actually spinach in general. You can find some fresh spinach this time of year in some of the farmer's markets but the stuff in the grocery stores is also very good. The vinaigrette is interesting and very flavorful and the raspberry adds a nice touch.
- Chefs Notes: Goat cheese is better for you than most other cheeses so you are already ahead of the game with this recipe. The raspberries add in some sugar to the dressing but not sufficient to worry about. The only other ingredients which cause any concern are the extra virgin olive oil and almonds but extra virgin olive oil is not bad for you and almonds are just about the best nut you can eat. We even understand which almonds contain some type of cancer preventative chemical. See how well we look after you
