Hello my loves,
Summer is here! I wanted to share a healthy and yummy salad recipe and this Summer salad with shallot vinaigrette is just that! Filled with lots of fresh fruits and veggies and has the best vinaigrette on top. Add chicken or steak to this for some added protein if you’d like! Really easy and delicious!
What are your Summer plans? We don’t have too much going on besides a trip to Montreal in August. Excited to go back since more things are open! I also plan on having a few dinner parties this Summer and I can’t wait.
This salad would be perfect for any get together you’re having or makes a great bring-a-long!
Summer Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette
Summer Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette
Bursting with fresh strawberries and cucumbers along with avocado, garbanzo beans, red onion and feta. Topped with a delicious shallot vinaigrette. Really yummy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups arugula
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 8-10 large strawberries, sliced
- 1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped and soaked in cold water
- 1 large cucumber, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Shallot Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sour cream or greek yogurt, generous
- 1 tsp dijon mustard, generous
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add all the salad ingredients. In a separate small bowl, add the vinaigrette ingredients and whisk to combine. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. Top with more feta in desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Note on the red onion: whenever eating red onion raw it helps to soak the chopped onion in really cold water for a few minutes to remove the bitterness. You're left with red onion that adds to the dish rather than is the star of the dish. Makes all the difference!
As always, if you make this be sure to tag me @tessa_port. I love to see you making my recipes!
