HARVEST SALAD WITH RASPBERRY WALNUT VINAIGRETTE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Harvest Salad with Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Johanna

Number Of Ingredients 12

Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette:
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
6 oz. baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. red raspberry jam (with seeds)
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/4 cup walnut oil or extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. To toast the walnuts, preheat oven to 375 F. Arrange walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the walnuts begin to brown. 2. In a large bowl or separate serving bowls, toss together spinach, cranberries, cheese, tomato, avocado, and red onion. 3. Combine raspberry jam and red wine vinegar in a food processor. With the motor running slowly add in the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (This can be done by hand with a whisk but the dressing will easily separate.) Drizzle dressing over the salad and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh raspberries. If fresh raspberries are not available, frozen raspberries can be used, but they should be thawed before use.
  • To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • If you don't have raspberry vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar instead.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can use goat cheese or blue cheese instead.
  • This salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

This raspberry walnut salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh raspberries. The combination of sweet raspberries, crunchy walnuts, creamy feta cheese, and tangy raspberry vinaigrette is sure to please everyone at your table. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
