Categories     Salads

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (4 ounces) pecan halves
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
Pinch salt
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons real maple syrup
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 cups mesclun greens (or favorite mixed greens such as green or red leaf, boston, bibb, or romaine)
3 ounces goat cheese (or blue cheese), crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil or line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the pecans and maple syrup and toss gently to combine. Spread the pecans in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets. Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once, until the syrup is bubbling vigorously, about 5 minutes. Immediately scrape the glazed pecans onto the other prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, shallots, salt, pepper, maple syrup, mustard and vinegar. Whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a steady stream. (Alternatively, add all your ingredients to a jar, cover with lid, and shake vigorously to blend.) Set aside.
  • Place the greens in a large bowl, drizzle with about half of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add as much of the remaining vinaigrette as desired and toss again. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with the cheese and reserved pecans and serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 dash cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup halved pecans
1 red bell pepper
2 oranges
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh pepper
2 cups mesclun greens

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan add 2 tablespoons whole butter, dash of cayenne, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/2 cup of pecans. Cook this slowly over a very low flame, taking care to stir carefully and occasionally. The sugar will burn easily if the flame is too hot. On a stable cutting board, julienne the red pepper and then peel and section the 2 oranges. Squeeze the remaining orange pulp over a large bowl and to this add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the salad greens in this and then place on a salad plate. Arrange the oranges and red bell pepper slices on the top and garnish with the caramelized pecan halves. Allow the pecans to cool before eating.

MESCLUN SALAD WITH BANON CHEESE



Mesclun Salad with Banon Cheese image

Traditionally made from cow's or goat's milk and wrapped in chestnut leaves, Banon cheese is named after the town in northern Provence from which it hails. When the leaves are green, the cheese is fresh, mild, and sweet; when the leaves are brown, it is ripe and soft. Either way, it's a great complement to classic mesclun greens. In the spirit of Provence, we encourage you to bypass the ready-made mesclun mix and create your own blend of peppery, sweet, and tender baby lettuces from the array that you can find at the farmers market.

Time 15m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 lb loosely packed mixed baby lettuces such as lolla rossa, oak-leaf, or Bibb (16 cups)
3 individual Banon cheeses (9 ounces total) or soft goat cheese, at room temperature
Accompaniment: fougasse or baguette

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved, then add oil, whisking until emulsified.
  • Just before serving, toss lettuces with just enough vinaigrette to coat, then divide among plates. Halve cheeses and serve 1 half with each salad.

MACHE AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH CLEMENTINES AND WALNUTS



Mache and Endive Salad With Clementines and Walnuts image

Mache, a delicate green with a mild, subtle flavor, packs quite a nutritional punch, as it is high in omega-3s (as are walnuts) and folic acid. The salad is simple to throw together, but its flavors are complex, with sweet juicy mandarin (or tangerine or clementine sections), crunchy bitter endive and walnuts, soft and almost sweet mache, and vibrant fresh herbs. The recipe will serve 4 to 6 but I admit to eating a good half of this salad when I tested it.

Categories     Greens

Time 7m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

150 g mesclun
1/2 red capsicum
1 carrot
1 spring onion
2 tomatoes

Steps:

  • Wash and drain salad leaves.
  • Finely slice red capsicum.
  • Shaved carrot.
  • Chop spring onion.
  • Cut tomatoes into wedges.
  • Toss all ingredients with the salad leaves in a bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for fresh, crisp mesclun greens, ripe clementines, and flavorful goat cheese.
  • Segment the clementines: To easily remove the segments from the clementines, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, score the skin from top to bottom, following the natural segments of the fruit. Gently peel away the skin to expose the segments, and then use your fingers to separate them.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Allow the walnuts to cool before adding them to the salad.
  • Make the vinaigrette dressing ahead of time: You can make the vinaigrette dressing up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. When you're ready to serve the salad, whisk the dressing until well combined.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: Mesclun salad is best served fresh. Assemble the salad just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting. Toss the greens, clementines, walnuts, and goat cheese together in a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette dressing and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

Mesclun salad with clementines is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet clementines, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts makes this salad a delightful treat. Plus, it's packed with healthy ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
