Greens with Valdosta, Goat Cheese & Balsamic Vinaigrette
A simple, classic everyday meal or side that tastes great all year! Add leftover chicken and roll in a whole wheat pita or wrap for a delicious & nutritious quick lunch or snack.
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice (or verjus)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

¼ teaspoon mustard seeds, ground
½ teaspoon dry thyme
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cups assorted organic tender greens, washed and spun dry
2-3 ounces of your favorite local fresh goat cheese, crumbled
4 ounces Sahale Snacks Valdosta Blend
In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dry mustard, ground mustard seed and thyme with a wire whisk. Slowly drizzle in the oils. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce with the Valdosta Blend and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle in 2-3 tablespoons of dressing along with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and gently toss.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Makes 4 small or 2 large servings.
Chef Danielle’s Notes:
- Verjus is the juice of tart unripe wine grapes. It is sometimes used in areas where lemons are not grown when desiring to cook locally.
- The vinaigrette makes 6 ounces and is best made a day in advance to allow flavors to blend.
- Tip – For Always Fresh Crisp Greens:
- buy the freshest greens at your local farmers market
- always use a salad spinner to wash lettuce (wash until the water is free of dirt and spin dry). Place in a plastic bag and cut a few small holes to allow lettuce to breath. If washed and stored as mentioned for one day before use – the lettuce will have a chance to crisp up and be at its peak.
