Chef One:
Add spinach to largest bowl possible of clean cold
water. Turn greens once or twice prior to pulling the
greens from the water (rather then pouring the dirty
water back on top of your spinach). If you don't have
a salad spinner, spread your spinach out onto a large
clean dish towel and gently roll as you would a jelly
roll dough to dry your leaves of spinach. Do not wash
your berries! If your goat cheese has been sold to you
in a log form, take either a sharp wet knife or some
dental floss and portion to 1/2" medallions.
Chef Two:
Squeeze & strain one lemon into a jam jar (with lid
and without jam). To the lemon juice add one
tablespoon Dijon mustard and roughly 6 "glugs" of your
finest extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle in salt &
fresh cracked pepper. Secure lid onto jar and give it
a good shake until combined.
Chef One:
Combine your dry spinach & bushberries with your
partner's dressing and toss gently. Immediately divide
the salad onto 2-4 plates.
Chef Two:
Place goat cheese medallion on top of greens for your
edible garnish.
Enjoy!* A "glug" refers to the sound oil makes as it is pouring out of its
bottle. We estimate 6 "glugs" to be about a half of a cup.
