Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons water hot
- 1 cup hazelnut shelled
- 8-10 cups salad greens mixed
- 2 cups Cherry pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons balsamic dressing brand Newman's Own Lite
- 1 cup blueberries
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- balsamic dressing additional, brand Newman's Own Lite, for salad
Instructions
- First, candy the hazelnuts. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and hot water. Add the hazelnuts and toss until well coated. Pour mixture onto a large baking sheet that has been lined with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Bake until hazelnuts are crisp, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, break hazelnuts apart. Roughly chop and set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Place cherries in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic dressing and toss well. Place cherries on a grill pan and grill until tender, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to turn occasionally while cooking.
- In a large bowl, add greens, grilled cherries, blueberries, goat cheese, and candied hazelnuts. Drizzle with additional balsamic dressing and serve immediately.
- Note-I usually don't add the full 1 cup of hazelnuts to the salad, but I like to candy 1 cup at a time. Add however many you like!
