Dried Cranberries, Walnuts and Goat Cheese Salad

Ingredientes

• 2 oz crumbled goat cheese (1/4 cup)
• 0,12 colher de chá ground black pepper
• 1 colher de chá ou 1 pacote dijon mustard
• 0,12 colher de chá salt
• 1 colher de sopa white wine vinegar
• 2 colheres de sopa canola oil
• 2/3 colher de sopa light mayonnaise (2 tsp)
• 1/2 xícara sweetened dried cranberries
• 4 1/2 xícaras, desfiada salad greens
• 1/2 xícara, cortadas toasted walnuts

Instruções

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
2. Place walnuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool before using.
3. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Beat well with wire whisk.
4. Slowly beat in canola oil until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
5. Just before serving, in a large bowl, toss lettuce with dressing. Divide evenly onto 6 salad plates (1 serving = 1 cup). Sprinkle each with equal portions of cranberries, goat cheese, and walnuts.
6. Note: my friend, who is a diabetic, gave me this recipe. If you do not like cranberries, you can use dried cherries.
