Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup radishes, sliced
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons rose vinaigrette
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the mixed greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Spin them dry in a salad spinner or pat them gently with a clean kitchen towel.
- Next, take the radishes and slice them thinly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices. Set the sliced radishes aside in a small bowl.
- Wash the strawberries and remove the green tops. Slice the strawberries into thin rounds or halves, depending on your preference. Place them in another bowl alongside the radishes.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced radishes, and sliced strawberries. Toss them gently to mix without bruising the greens.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the salad mixture. This will add a creamy texture and tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Drizzle the rose vinaigrette over the salad. Start with 2 tablespoons, and add more if desired. Gently toss the salad again to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Remember to start with a little and adjust according to your preference.
- Once everything is well mixed, serve the salad immediately. You can plate it individually or serve it family-style in the large bowl. Enjoy your fresh Spring Salad with Rose Vinaigrette!
Tips
- Always use the freshest ingredients possible. The quality of your produce will directly impact the salad's flavor.
- When slicing radishes and strawberries, aim for uniform, thin cuts to ensure even distribution and elegant presentation.
- For the best texture, dress the salad just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting.
- Experiment with different goat cheese varieties to find your perfect flavor profile.
- If you can't find rose vinaigrette, you can make a simple version by mixing rose water with white wine vinegar and a touch of honey.
- For an extra gourmet touch, consider toasting some pine nuts or sliced almonds to sprinkle on top for added crunch.
