I think the real name for this type of salad is a "garbage" salad, but that isn't really the most appetizing name. So, I've decided to name this a "menagerie" salad, as it's got just about a little bit of everything in it. The base is baby spinach and to that I've added some chopped vine-ripened tomato, about 1/4 cup black beans, chopped cucumber, and some feta cheese. The whole shebang is topped with homemade croutons and a simple dijon balsamic vinaigrette that I quickly whisked together.
Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette
makes one serving
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
a couple glugs balsamic vinegar (about 1 tablespoon)
about half as many glugs of olive oil (about 1/2 tablespoon)
pinch of black pepper
pinch of fine sea salt
pinch of oregano
1. Whisk together the dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano.
2. While still whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Easy right?
