Lunch & Dinner


Nectarine & Pistachio Salad


Ingredients 
  • 4 cups of mixed greens (a large handful per person is about right)
  • 1 cup of sprouts (radish preferably, for bite)
  • 2 nectarines, chopped
  • 2 avocados, chopped
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachio nuts (pumpkin seeds or almond slivers would also work)
  • For Vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
  • Juice from 1 fresh lime
Instructions
  1. For Salad
  2. In a large serving bowl, toss first 4 salad ingredients.
  3. Top with toasted nuts.
  4. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. For Vinaigrette
  6. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, mustard powder and lime juice until well blended. The mustard powder will help bind the ingredients together slightly, but you may want to stir/shake lightly before serving.
