How to Make Salad With Walnut Vinaigrette And Warm Chevre

  1. **Make the Vinaigrette:**
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon honey until well combined.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 4 tablespoons walnut oil and 2 tablespoons olive oil while whisking constantly until the vinaigrette emulsifies and thickens.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Set aside.
  6. **Prepare the Chevre:**
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Finely chop 1/4 cup walnuts, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon fresh chives.
  9. Season a 4-ounce log of chevre lightly with salt and pepper.
  10. Spread the chopped walnut, parsley, and chive mixture on a small plate.
  11. Roll the chevre log in the mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.
  12. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  13. Slice the chevre into 6 even rounds.
  14. Place chevre rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and slightly softened.
  15. **Assemble the Salad:**
  16. In a large bowl, gently toss together 5 ounces mixed salad greens, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup walnuts, and 1/2 cup mixed berries (such as raspberries and blueberries).
  17. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss lightly to coat.
  18. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  19. Mound the salad onto plates. Top each salad with one or two warm chevre rounds and serve immediately.
