I had a wonderful salad at Iris in New Orleans. This is my version of it. It combines savory smoked meat with sweet blueberries and a mouthpopping blue cheese. Topped with sweet jelly vinaigrette, it's a summertime delight. With all cold ingredients, it's a nice treat to make as well as to eat on these hot summer evenings.
Ingredients:
3 cups of mixed baby greens
1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese
5 oz. sliced smoked duck or salmon
2 Tbs Mayhaw or jelly vinaigrette
Directions:
Wash salad greens and divide between two plates. Top each salad with half of the blueberries, pecans, gorgonzola, and smoked duck or salmon. Drizzle each salad with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette. Serve and enjoy.
Serves 2, easily doubled or more
Stealthy Cooking Tip: There are some foods that are best purchased organic. Lettuce and berries are two of those foods. They both maintain a residue of insecticide that can be scrubbed off ... but have you ever tried to scrub lettuce or berries? Yes, these are two that are best purchased organic!
