  • 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

    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

  1. Make the dressing- whisk all ingredients in a small bowl.

  2. 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.

  3. If plating: place the dressed greens onto plates. Top with blackberries, goat cheese, a few basil leaves and almonds.
