Green Salad with Bing Cherries, Brie and Pistachios

June 29th, 2010

This salad is an absolute delight! Add some grilled pork tenderloin or chicken breast to it and you have a complete meal. Use a Cherry Chomper from Poggi Bonsi so cherries are perfectly sliced without the mess.

For the Salad:
8 oz. greens
1 cup pitted, sliced  fresh cherries
4 oz. brie, sliced into little wedges
¼ cup pistachios, chopped (substitute pecans or walnuts)
Optional: grilled, sliced pork tenderloin or chicken breast

For the Dressing:
1/2 cup Poggi Bonsi Cucina extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Ritrovo Selections Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste (for a real treat add a pinch of our Casina Rossa Sweet & Salt)

 Slowly drizzle oil into the vinegar and seasonings while whisking to create a dressing with a velvety texture. Toss with the salad, arrange brie wedges on top, sprinkle with nuts and enjoy!

 Serves 4 as a main course or 8 as a side
