Ingredients
50g pine nuts
2 packs (220g total) mixed salad greens, such as bistro blend with red chard
200g SunBlush tomatoes, roughly chopped
200g black olives, such as niçoise
1 tablespoon sundried tomato paste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the sundried tomato paste and balsamic vinegar until combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to create a smooth, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid if preparing ahead; whisk again before serving.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden brown. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Place the mixed salad greens in a large bowl. Add the chopped SunBlush tomatoes and black olives.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Divide the salad among six serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over each portion and serve immediately.
Comments
Pine nuts and sunblush tomatoes will require a second stop—likely at Harris Teeter or Kroger's specialty section—and that trip adds real cost to what looks like a simple salad; pine nuts alone often run $12-15 per pound. The 18-minute stated time is honest for assembly, but assumes you have quality olive oil and good balsamic on hand, and that sunblush tomatoes aren't buried in the imported aisle. At six servings this feeds a family well and reheats poorly (it's a same-night dish), so budget it for when everyone is home and the salad won't sit dressed. It's a light, elegant choice for a weeknight with guests rather than a rushed solo dinner.
