Super quick and yummy salad
I've come across a new favourite salad this weekend. I cannot take credit for the recipe - found it on the back of a bag of pre-washed organic greens. It's really yummy though and takes all of 5 minutes to prepare from beginning to end and is a nice change of pace from the standard dinner salad(and all the chopping that goes with it), so thought I'd share.
Baby Lettuce Salad with Caramelized Onions, Toasted Pine Nuts & Feta Cheese
- 1 bag (4.5) ounces Organic Mixed Baby Greens (the brand I bought was Fresh Express, which is where the recipe came from)
- 1/2 large red onion, cut into thin wedges
- 4 Tbsp. pine nuts - I found organic ones at our grocery store
- 3 Tbsp. Sherry vinegar (I actually used balsamic vinegar instead because it's what I had and I love the taste)
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 oz. Feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt & Pepper to taste (I actually use none)
Optional: 4 oz. dried currants (approx. 2 Tbsp.)
Coat bottom of large skillet with olive oil and put over medium heat. Add red onion and pine nuts, and stire gently for 5 minutes. Take pan off heat and mix in sherry (or balsamic) vinegar. Pour over baby greens in large boal and toss well. Top each salad with crumbled Feta cheese and serve immediately.
Serves 2-3.
