Made in Chelsea....

This salad was inspired by the Chelsea Farmer's Market.  Saturday the variety of produce available was amazing.

Peach and Goat Cheese Salad



Here's what I put in it:

Baby lettuces
Candied walnuts
Goat cheese, crumbled
Onion, sliced thin
Peaches, cut in wedges
A little salt and pepper
Homemade balsamic vinaigrette

Toss the greens and onion in the dressing.
Arrange on the plate. Top with goat cheese, walnuts, onion and peaches. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
YUM.

Candied Walnuts
Place walnuts and sugar in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves into a light brown liquid and coats the walnuts. Remove walnuts from skillet, and spread them out on a sheet of aluminum foil to cool.


Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons water

  •      1. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey and garlic.
         2. Drizzle in olive oil in a slow, steady steam, while continuing to whisk. 
         3. When blended stir in water.
         4.Toss greens with just enough vinaigrette to moisten them.
