Shallot Vinaigrette for Spring Greens Salad

Use this vinaigrette over six cups of organic spring greens salad mixed with organic romaine lettuce. Add a half cup of blue cheese crumbles, a half cup of chopped walnuts and one small bag of dried craisens (dried cranberries that resemble raisens) to finish it off.

Ingredients

• 3 cloves organic shallots
• 1/2 Cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 Cup organic, cold-pressed olive oil
• 1/2 Tsp thinly ground sea salt
• 1 Tsp pepper

Directions

• Slice the shallots as thinly as possible into long strips. Place in a bowl or cup.
• Pour half cup of balsamic vinegar on top of the shallots. Use a fork, muddler or spoon to muddle the shallots in with the vinegar for about two minutes to release the flavor.
• Add the cup of olive oil to the mixture, along with the salt and pepper. Mix it all together and pour over the salad with a spoon, making sure to get vinegar and olive oil together in the spoon.
