Scale
For the salad
- 6 cups green leaf lettuce or spring mix
- 1 cup black grapes, sliced in half
- 4oz goat cheese
- 1/2 cup candied pecans
For the dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon mayonnaise (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, grapes, goat cheese, and pecans. For the best results, I recommend tossing the greens with half of the toppings, then add the remaining half on top. This helps distribute the toppings evenly so they don’t all fall to the bottom of the serving bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing on top of the salad and toss to coat.
