Boy, am I glad it's Friday! This week has been a busy one, and stopping to even eat has been difficult! But when you find yourself over-committed and overwhelmed, you still have to make the time for good nutrition. (or you won't have the energy to keep up with your busy life!)
So this salad is for all of us! Fast, yummy, nutritious and easy to make and eat, or pack and take with you!
ENJOY! HAPPY WEEKEND!~FoodieGIRL
(P.S. If your packing this to savor later, don't forget to put the dressing on the side, or lettuce will get soggy)
The 5 minute salad
12 ounces pre-washed mixed salad greens (about 8 cups)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 28)
1 cup canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 ounces goat cheese (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, torn, or 1 teaspoon dried basil
Place greens into a large bowl.
Whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper, to taste.
