Blueberry and Goat Cheese Salad with Warm Honey Walnuts


I received the most amazing organic blueberries with my crop share last week.  
The farm I get my vegetables from also offers a fruit option, 
which includes four different types of fruit through the summer.    
These blueberries are from a farm in New Jersey and are my first fruit delivery.  
They are plump, firm, sweet and perfect in this salad.  
What I love about this dish is that when you add the warm walnuts, 
the goat cheese melts and clings to each ingredient in the bowl.  
It is almost like a goat cheese dressing.  Yum!

Place 6 cups of fresh chopped organic spinach in a salad bowl.

Add 1 pint organic blueberries.

Top with 4 ounces of goat cheese crumbled.

Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and add 1 cup of walnut halves or pieces.
Saute over medium high heat for 3 or 4 minutes or until golden brown.

Add 1 Tablespoon of honey and stir.

Pour warm walnuts with honey over the salad.

Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the juice from 1 lemon and a pinch of sea salt.

Toss well and enjoy!

  4. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But think of
    if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!

    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the greatest
    in its field. Wonderful blog!
