INGREDIENTS
Salad 5 ounces arugula
3-4 ounces goat cheese 2 cups ripe blackberries 1/4 cup salted pistachios, shelled Honey-Mustard Dressing 2 tbsp stone-ground mustard 2 tbsp honey 1/3 cup rice vinegar 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 small shallot, minced (2 tbsp) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper
METHOD
Whisk all dressing ingredients in a small bowl until the oil and vinegar emulsify.
If you own an immersion blender, you can pulse the dressing a few times to make it creamier. Don’t pulse too much or you will lose the integrity of the mustard seeds. In a large bowl or on a large platter, toss the arugula, goat cheese, blackberries and pistachios with the honey mustard dressing and serve.
