Blue Point Grill Salad

We were in the Blue Point Grill, one of Washington's best, to celebrate our anniversary when we discovered this wonderful salad.

3 c. spinach 1 t. Dijon mustard
1 shallot, finely diced 1 T. balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 3 T. olive oil
1/4 c. pignoli 2 oz. Maytag Blue or other blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 c. dried cherries  
  1. Rinse and tear the spinach. We recommend a spinner to dry salad greens, but whatever the technique, dry them thoroughly.

  2. Prepare the vinaigrette, starting with the mustard, shallot, vinegar, and spices. Mix thoroughly, then drizzle the oil into the dressing while continuing to stir.

  3. Toss the greens, coating them with the vinaigrette.

  4. Top with the pignoli, blue cheese, and cherries.
