Salad with spinach, goat cheese and baked carrots topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch small carrots with tops, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons of honey
- 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 6 cups baby spinach (about 110 g)
- 1 bunch red lettuce, torn into larger pieces
- 110 g goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chives
Preparation:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 230°C (450°F). In a large bowl, toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and a small amount of freshly ground black pepper. Place the carrots on the hot baking sheet and roast until lightly browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet, toast the almonds over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, mustard, and shallots. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the spinach, lettuce, and almonds and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the lettuce and carrots to a serving platter. Top with goat cheese and green onions.
