Grape, Arugula, & Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese & Walnuts

It's a salad I like - it's got fruit, nuts, and cheese! Well, I had to do something with the other half of the basket of grapes I bought for the Chicken with Roasted Grapes, and very nice it was too. I think red grapes might have been prettier for this recipe but nothing wrong with the green ones.

4 to 6 servings
20 minutes prep time

Make the Dressing:
3 tablespoons walnut oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Put the above ingredients in a small bowl or jam jar and whisk or shake until well blended. 

Make the Salad:
2 cups red or green seedless grapes
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 cups baby arugula
2 to 4 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup walnut pieces
125 grams (1/2 pound) goat cheese

Wash the grapes and remove them from the stems, discarding any bad ones. Drain well.

Wash, dry and chop the parsley finely, and the arugula and spinach coarsely. Mix them in your salad bowl.

Arrange the grapes and walnut pieces over the greens, and crumble the goat cheese over as well. Drizzle with the salad dressing.



Last year at this time I made Caprese Tortellini Salad and Veal in Tomato Sauce.
