Ingredients
Salad
- 16 ounce mixed green salad
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 1 pint fresh raspberries 170 grams
- 1 pint fresh blueberries 170 grams
- 1 pint fresh blackberries 170 grams
- 8 ounce goat cheese (block or crumbled) 226 grams
- ½ cup slivered almonds optional for crunch *personally, I like without and keep them on the side
Dressing:
- ½ cup good quality olive oil
- ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice + zest of one orange
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt more to taste
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cut in quarters
Instructions
Dressing
- Place all ingredients in a Mason jar and shake vigorously. The dressing can stay at room temperature for up to one week.
Cup of Yum
Assemble
- Place salad in a large serving bowl.
- Layer fruit and add globs of goat cheese.
- Pour citrus dressing on top 15 minutes before serving.
- Don't toss or all the ingredients will fall to the bottom. Let it sit with the dressing for 15 minutes. As you serve and plate start mixing the ingredients. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make the dressing up to 2 days ahead of time. Store the dressing in the fridge and let it come to room temperature an hour before serving. Shake the jar and presto! You are ready to dress your salad.
- Serve the salad in a flat and wide serving platter (as pictured). Ditch the deep salad bowl and serve your salad on a platter for a pretty presentation. This will also help with serving and evenly topping the salad with all the add-in ingredients.
- Dress the salad 10 minutes before serving and DO NOT TOSS. When you serve the salad in a shallow and wide serving platter you don’t need to toss the salad. No more digging for all the yummy toppings at the bottom of the bowl! Simply distribute the dressing evenly over the top and the it will seep down to coat all the toppings and salad underneath. Voila!
