Avocado- Pine Nut Salad
Yield: 8 Servings
Prep Time: 15 min
This has been my family's favorite salad recipe for years and years. Every family gathering we have, this salad makes an appearance!
Ingredients:
2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
1 head green leaf lettuce, chopped
1 head red leaf lettuce, chopped
1 large avocado, chopped
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shreddedDRESSING
4 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to tasteDirections:
1. Place dressing ingredients in shaker jar. Shake well and refrigerate until chilled.
2. Prepare salad ingredients and toss with chilled dressing.
3. Serve immediately.
Tips:
*An easy way to roast raw pine nuts is to dry roast them in a heated saucepan, stirring often so that they do not burn (they burn easily if not watched).
*Grill some chicken and marinate it in the salad dressing for a great summer, main-dish salad!Nutritional Information per serving:

Trust me… the mustard mixed w/ the white wine vinegar makes a wonderful, tangy dressing. We use it for everything!

Definitely going to try this one! And we can use raw milk mozz to make it a raw meal. Thanks, Lori!

Love this combination; switch the lettuce for pasta and the white vinegar for balsamic and you have the makings of my favorite summer dish too!
