Ingredients
mustard vinaigrette
- ½ shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons whole grain (or Dijon) mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Cracked black pepper to taste
assemble
- 2 large heads romaine, cleaned, ends removed and chopped
- 5 vine ripe tomatoes, quartered
- 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
- ⅛ red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and peeled
- 2 balls burrata cheese, halved
- 2 large toasted or grilled pita bread, broken into large pieces
- 1 cup crispy cooked quinoa**
Instructions
- Place all vinaigrette ingredients, except oil, into a large bowl and whisk together. Whisk oil into remaining ingredients, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Remove ⅓ of vinaigrette from mixing bowl and set aside.
- Add romaine to large mixing bowl and toss together with vinaigrette until evenly coated, then spread dressed romaine onto a large platter.
- Add remaining vinaigrette, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, garbanzo beans, and toasted pita bread to mixing bowl and toss together until everything is evenly coated.
- Pour mixture over dressed romaine and top with split burrata and crispy quinoa. Lightly season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
- **For crispy quinoa: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet, over medium heat, and top with 1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa. Spread quinoa into a thin layer over butter and allow quinoa to get crispy, don’t stir. Once quinoa begins to brown and crisp around edges, begin tossing and stirring with a wooden spoon until quinoa browns and crisps all over. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Spread toasted quinoa onto a clean baking sheet, in a single layer and allow quinoa to cool completely before using.
