Mixed Salad with Feta and Golden Raisins Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 head Bibb lettuce
1 bunch watercress
1 cup golden raisins
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Remove and discard old leaves from lettuce and watercress; then wash. Wrap in paper towels and refrigerate. Put raisins into small pot with water to cover, and simmer for 3 minutes. Take off heat and set aside so raisins can plump. In large salad bowl, place oil, lemon juice, vinegar and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Just before serving, remove greens from refrigerator and tear into large pieces. Drain raisins, discarding water. Mix dressing and raisins and greens, and sprinkle feta cheese on top. Serve at once.
