Instructions

To Prepare the Strawberry-Mint Vinaigrette:

  1. In a small skillet, heat the balsamic vinegar and strawberries over medium-high heat and bring to a full boil. Allow mixture to boil and cook until strawberries are very soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Mash the strawberries with a fork. Note: this will make your house smell like vinegar. But that's okay.
  2. Remove from heat, add the mint leaves, maple syrup, and salt and stir. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to a cup or bowl and refrigerating until cool.
  3. Once cool, strain the strawberry pulp and mint leaves out of the mixture using a fine mesh strainer.
  4. Pour the mixture into a small blender, such as a Magic Bullet, along with the oil and blend until smooth (you can also whisk the strawberry vinegar and oil together by hand vigorously until combined). Set aside until ready to use.

To Prepare the Salad:

  1. Add all of the ingredients for the salad except for the goat cheese to a large serving bowl. Toss in desired amount of dressing (you will not need all of the dressing). Serve salad with goat chevre.

Notes

  • If serving this salad as an entre, it will feed 2 people. If serving it as a side salad, you can feed up to 4.
