BABY BLUE SALAD



Baby Blue Salad image

This came from Southern Living -- one of their prize recipes. It takes a little time to prepare -- but most of the prep time can be done well in advance. This is a very special salad and absolutely perfect for a special occasion. I never worry about guests not liking the salad when this is on the menu.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 lb mixed salad green, of your choice
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (I prefer Feta cheese)
2 oranges, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pint fresh strawberries, quartered and sliced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 small shallots, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup warm water
1 cup pecan halves
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Steps:

  • For the Balsamic Vinaigrette, whisk together all ingredients except olive oil until thoroughly blended. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Makes 1 2/3 cups.
  • For the Sweet and Spicy Pecans, stir together ¼ Celsius sugar and warm water until sugar is dissolved. Add pecans; soak for 10 minutes. Drain, discarding syrup. Combine 2 T. sugar. Chili powder, and pepper. Add pecans, tossing to coat. Place pecans on lightly greased baking sheet.* Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, stirring once.
  • To assemble salad: Toss greens with some of the Balsamic Vinaigrette. Arrange on 6 plates. Arrange orange slices, berries, pecans and cheese over greens. Drizzle some additional dressing over salad and serve.
  • If strawberries are not in season, I've substituted kiwi fruit -- I'm sure there are many fruits that you could use.
  • *Note: I always line my baking sheet/pan with parchment paper -- the pecans get pretty sticky while baking and it sure makes the clean-up a snap.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Use a variety of baby greens for a more flavorful and visually appealing salad: arugula, baby spinach, butter lettuce, and watercress are all great options.
  • Choose ripe and sweet strawberries for the perfect balance of flavors in the salad. If the strawberries are tart, you may want to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • Use high-quality blue cheese for a rich and pungent flavor. Crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese can be used as a substitute, if preferred.
  • Make the dressing just before serving to ensure the best flavor. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing to prevent the greens from wilting.

Conclusion:

This baby greens salad with strawberries and blue cheese is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy blue cheese, and nutty walnuts is simply irresistible. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
