Jun

2010
Combine Jones Grown strawberries and greens with CT grown goat cheese for a local twist on this early summer salad.
Ingredients:
For the Salad:
1 medium bowl of arugula or other mixed greens (spinach, buttercrunch lettuce)
1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 small package of local goat cheese
For Balsamic Vinaigrette:
½ cup olive oil
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 tsp mustard
Pinch of salt and ground black pepper
Directions:
Whisk together ingredients for the balsamic vinaigrette (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper), and pour over sliced strawberries.
Arrange the mixed greens in a bowl. Toss with the strawberries and balsamic vinaigrette just before serving, then top with dollops of goat cheese. To add variety, try mixing in fresh herbs with the greens. For a twist on the vinaigrette, substitute half of the balsamic vinegar for CT grown black currant juice.
