This is my version of a salad at a fancy restaurant in the same complex as the condo, that I own fractionally with 7 others. Their menu was posted online and this piqued my interest, It's called Lingonberry and Goat Cheese Salad. I'm at a disadvantage - I've never had their salad, nor is there a photo, but I have most of the listed ingredients and a couple not called for, of course. . .
crisp, washed and sliced Romaine lettuce
*thinly sliced purple onion
a little sliced celery heart
lemon-blueberry chèvre
craisins-dried cranberries
chopped walnuts
Lingonberry Dressing: I have no idea what their dressing is like, but this time I stirred 3T of lingonberries with 2T each of: Mengazzoli Italian white wine vinegar, water, EVOO and 1/2t-1t of fresh ground black pepper. This turned out similar to a really flavorful Raspberry Viniagrette.
Next time I might make a creamy version, mixing the lingonberries with a little mayo, black pepper, and plain Greek yogurt -or- sour cream. A good poppyseed dressing would also be a good base for the warm lingonberries.
This was a wonderful salad! I can't think of much I'd change *(although, diagonal sliced green onion might be a good swap for the purple onion) I ate the whole salad myself! . .Lin
