Green Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

I went to our nearby bowling alley and ate green salad with balsamic vinaigrette... fell in love with it and vowed I'll copy it somehow. It's on the tangy side and I love tangy... especially on those days of the month when I crave like a pregnant woman.

It's still a working progress and I will definitely welcome your suggestions and versions...

INGREDIENTS:
Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic clove, peeled and crushed through a garlic press
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon extract
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Green Salad, 4-5 cups
Asparagus, poached
Arugula leaves
Baby spinach
Pine nuts, toasted
Parmesan cheese, shaved

209 Calories per Serving

In a small bowl, mix together dressing ingredients almost emulsifying the whole mixture.

Before serving, place all the leaves in a salad bowl and pour one tablespoon of vinaigrette dressing at a time. Using your hands, mix and toss leaves. This ensures leaves are just lightly coated and not soaking wet.

Take a handful of salad and place it on a plate. Sprinkle with pine nuts and topped with asparagus and shaved parmesan.

If you want your salad drenched in dressing goodness, then add some more on your plate :)

Serve this as a side dish or entree and enjoy!

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
