Go buy yourself some good quality balsamic vinegar. Seriously, the good stuff. You won't use much of it for each serving so it's ok to spend $15-20 on a condiment. It will MAKE the meal.
I made this to go alongside some grilled pork chops and roasted red skinned potatoes. I wish we had had more salad!!!!! I didn't use the fruit and cheese, but I thought about how awesome it would have been with them!
3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon minced shallot
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 garlic glove, smashed
3 cups mixed salad greens
1/4 dried cranberries or cherries (optional)
2 tablespoons feta or goat cheese
1. Combine all ingredients up until salad greens. Whisk together until smooth. Let sit 5-10 minutes for flavors to merge.
2. Pick out the garlic chunks and discard.
3. Add greens, fruit and cheese. Toss to coat.
4. Serve. Yum!
