Green Salad With Walnut Shallot Vinaigrette Recipes

GARDEN SALAD WITH WALNUT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To prepare dressing, puree all ingredients in a small blender or food processor until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (May be prepared several days ahead.)
• Place greens, walnuts, tomatoes and onion in a large bowl and drizzle with dressing; toss well to coat. Season with pepper and serve immediately.

GREEN SALAD WITH PICKLED-SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Cover shallot with vinegar; let stand 10 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons of liquid to a large bowl, then drain. Add mustard to vinegar in bowl; whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then slowly whisk in oil until thick and creamy.
• Add greens, radishes, carrots, pickled shallot, and nasturtiums to bowl and toss to combine; serve immediately.

GREEN SALAD WITH BROWN BUTTER WALNUT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the walnuts, butter, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook very gently, stirring often, until the walnuts turn golden brown and the garlic has cooked, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet to slow the cooking, and set aside.
• When ready to serve, toss the greens with a little salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and vinegar to the walnut mixture and spoon the nuts over the salad, adding as much of the dressing as needed to lightly coat the leaves. Add the blue cheese, and toss again.

MIXED GREENS WITH SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place shallots, mustard, vinegar, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Still whisking, slowly add walnut oil. Just before serving, toss with greens, thyme, and tomatoes.

WALNUT CHICKEN SALAD WITH GREEN APPLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring 2 inches of water with 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Add chicken and poach at a bare simmer, partially covered, until just cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
• While chicken poaches, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl until honey and salt have dissolved. Whisk in shallot and oil, then whisk in apple.
• Divide lettuce, grapes, walnuts, and celery between 2 plates and drizzle with half of vinaigrette. Slice chicken and put on top of salads, then drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
