Blackberry and Arugula Salad
Ingredients
5 ounces baby arugula (or spinach)
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot
1–2 cups fresh blackberries
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4–1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/4 cup basil leaves- torn
Balsamic Vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
Make the dressing- whisk all ingredients in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, place arugula, basil and shallot. Toss with just enough dressing to lightly coat ( you may not need all). Feel free to add the remaining ingredients and toss or plate individual portions.
If plating: place the dressed greens onto plates. Top with blackberries, goat cheese, a few basil leaves and almonds.
Serve immediately!
