Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pecans
6 to 8 cups mixed greens
1 ripe pear, such as D'anjou, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon country Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
One 8-ounce log goat cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • For the salad: Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a large skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
  • For the vinaigrette: Whisk together the champagne vinegar, orange juice, honey, Dijon and shallot in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil; season with some salt and pepper.
  • For the goat cheese croutons: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the goat cheese into 8 equal rounds. Add to 3 shallow dishes, the flour, egg and panko. Coat each goat cheese round with flour, then egg and then panko, shaking off excess, and fry until golden on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined rack or plate.
  • To assemble the salad, toss the greens, pear, pecans and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with some vinaigrette and gently toss to fully combine. Divide the salad among 4 salad plates, top each with 2 goat cheese croutons, and serve.

MIXED GREENS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Mixed Greens with Blue Cheese Dressing image

I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce. This salad is our favorite to serve with a baked chicken casserole. It's also perfect for potlucks-just toss the dressing with vegetables right before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young collard greens. If you can't find collard greens, you can substitute other leafy greens, such as kale or spinach.
  • Be sure to wash the collard greens thoroughly before cooking. Collard greens can be gritty, so it's important to remove any dirt or debris.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cut collard greens. However, if you're using fresh collard greens, you'll need to remove the stems and chop the leaves.
  • Don't overcook the collard greens. They should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • If you don't have any sherry on hand, you can use white wine or chicken broth instead.
  • Serve the collard greens with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, mashed potatoes, or roasted chicken.

Conclusion:

Sherried greens with fruit and blue cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, tart, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to serve collard greens, give this recipe a try.
