How to make balsamic salad dressing
Get ready to be amazed, this could not be easier! I love whipping up a jar of this balsamic salad dressing to keep on hand for quick salads, sandwiches or even a meat marinade!
Mince the garlic and grind it against the cutting board with a little salt. The grittiness of the salt will help to mash the garlic into a juicy paste. Transfer the garlic to a mason jar by scraping it onto the chef’s knife.
Add the remaining ingredients to the jar and season with fresh ground pepper and sea salt to taste. Fasten the lid tightly and give it a good shake! The dressing will fully incorporate and have a golden brown color when it is mixed. If it is being stored in the refrigerator for later, be sure to shake it again before serving.
How to assemble the microgreens salad
Wash and dry the microgreens and salad greens. Tear the salad greens into bite size pieces. Place the microgreens, salad greens, apple slices, radish slices, avocado and red onion slices in a large salad bowl and toss to combine. Top with feta cheese, roasted pecans and dried cranberries.
To use this salad dressing as a marinade for chicken or shrimp, go ahead and mix it together just as instructed. In a medium glass bowl, add the meat and toss it in the dressing. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for up to thirty minutes before cooking. Slice the cooked meat into strips and serve it on top of the salad.
