Description
In this weeknight salad for two, the fresh crunch of leaf lettuce pairs beautifully with sweet berries, a savory blend of sauteed shallots and walnuts, and a sweet and spicy dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Salad:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 shallots, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 8 cups chopped leaf lettuce
- 1 cup quartered strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 to 3 dashes cardamom powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt coconut oil over medium-low heat. Add sliced shallots and cook 5-10 minutes, until they are just beginning to brown, stirring occasionally. Add walnuts and continue cooking to toast the nuts, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl or split onto two plates, combine lettuce and berries.
- In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients, taste, and adjust seasoning as desired. Drizzle dressing on top of salad (you will likely have some left over to use later).
