Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (chopped) Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) Goat cheese
- 0.25 cup (toasted) Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Set aside 1/4 cup of the raspberries for garnishing the salad later.
In a blender, combine the remaining raspberries, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and emulsified to create your raspberry dressing.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Drizzle the raspberry dressing over the chopped romaine lettuce in the salad bowl. Toss gently to coat the lettuce evenly.
Top the dressed lettuce with the reserved raspberries, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted sliced almonds.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, flavorful combination of ingredients!
