Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Shallots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Goat cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cups Toasted walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the shallots, keeping them whole, and trim the ends.
In a mixing bowl, toss the shallots with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the seasoned shallots on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
While the shallots are roasting, prepare the thyme honey by combining honey and fresh thyme in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
In a large serving bowl, combine mixed salad greens with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
Once the roasted shallots have cooled slightly, arrange them over the salad greens.
Drizzle the thyme-infused honey over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and toasted walnuts over the top for additional flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant Salad of Shallots and Thyme Honey.
