Mixed Greens with Roasted Italian Plums

Servings 4
Author Caroline

Ingredients

  • 12 Italian plums halved and stones removed
  • olive oil
  • 6 cups mixed greens I like to combine red leaf lettuce with some of my favorite greens
  • 1/4 medium red onion sliced
  • 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled (omit to keep this vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts toasted
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 roasted plum halves
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Place the plum halves on the sheet and drizzle with just enough olive oil to coat them. Rub the olive oil on to each halve. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, being careful not to let the sugars burn.
  • Make the dressing by combining ingredients in either a blender or tall cup using a hand blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Arrange mixed greens, red onion, goat cheese and plums on a serving dish. Drizzle with dressing and top with the toasted pine nuts.
