Croutons: ½ baguette ½ cup local extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons coarse sea salt French Vinaigrette: 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar 1 shallot, diced ¼ cup local extra virgin olive oil Pinch of sugar Salt and pepper to taste Salad: 4 cups mixed greens (whatever is fresh from your garden or farmers’ market) ¼ pound fresh asparagus (about ¾ cup when thinly sliced) 4 ounces North Valley Farms Chèvre Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oven to 325°. Cut the baguette into cubes and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Place vinegar and diced shallot in a bowl. Slowly stream in oil, whisking constantly to emulsify. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.Wash and dry greens thoroughly. Tear them into bite sized pieces, and place in a serving bowl. Bend each asparagus stalk so that the woody end breaks off. Wash the asparagus, then slice each spear on the bias very thinly. Add the sliced asparagus to the bowl with the greens. Right before serving, add 1 cup croutons and dressing and toss. Sprinkle crumbled chevre on top, toss lightly, and add salt and pepper to taste. back to recipes |
