Pike Place Market Salad - 24.6g Carbs, 4.5g Fiber
[Suggestion: Instead of candied walnuts just use plain toasted walnuts.
Be sure fruit is unsweetened also. Take care, Gloria]
From: Cooking Light, JUNE 2005
The salad calls for herb salad mix, which can be found prebagged in
the supermarket, or use any combination of lettuces and herbs. Any
fresh cherry or berry (blackberries, blueberries, etc.) will do nicely.
The dressing and caramelized walnuts can be made a day ahead (store
the nuts in an airtight container and the dressing in the refrigerator)
This Recipe Is:
Low Cholesterol
Meatless
WALNUTS:
1 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp coarsely chopped walnuts
Cooking spray
DRESSING:
1/2 cup apple cider
3 Tbsp water
1/4 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp finely chopped shallots
1 Tbsp champagne vinegar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
REMAINING INGREDIENTS:
8 cups herb salad mix
2 cups berries and/or pitted sweet cherries
1/4 cup (1 oz) blue cheese, crumbled
To prepare nuts, place sugar in a small skillet over medium heat; cook
90 seconds or until sugar dissolves, stirring as needed so sugar
dissolves evenly and doesn't burn. Reduce heat; stir in walnuts. Cook
over low heat 30 seconds or until golden. Spread mixture onto foil
coated with cooking spray. Cool completely; break into small pieces.
To prepare dressing, place cider in a small saucepan over medium-high
heat; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons (about
5 minutes). Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl; add to pan.
Bring cider mixture to a boil, stirring constantly; cook 30 seconds.
Remove from heat. Stir in shallots, vinegar, salt, and pepper; let cool.
To prepare salad, place salad mix in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing;
toss gently to coat. Divide evenly among 4 plates; top with berries,
cheese, and walnuts. Serve immediately.
