Almond Cherry and Blue Cheese Salad

Pretty and tasty too, a real palate pleaser.

What You Need:

 

1 T red wine vinegar

1/8 t salt

1/8 t pepper

2 T olive oil

3 T fresh tarragon, chopped and divided

6 C baby spinach

2 C fresh cherries, pitted and cut in half

1/4 C blue cheese, crumbled

1/3 C almonds, slivered

 

How to Make It:

 

Pour the vinegar into a small mixing blow.

Add the salt and pepper and whisk until the salt is completely dissolved.

Slow add the oil and whisking while pouring it into the bowl.

Fold in 2 T of the tarragon.

Place the spinach into a salad bowl.

Add the cherries and toss to combine.

Pour the dressing into the bowl and toss the salad to lightly coat.

Sprinkle the cheese over the salad.

Top with the almonds and serve immediately.

 

Serves:  4

 

This fruity salad goes well with both pork and chicken. Better yet, make it the main course by adding 2 C of chopped chicken, turkey, or pork, and some finely chopped hard boiled egg.
