Brie & Roasted Red Pepper Salad

  • This is from Canadian Living Magazine and is my recipe for testing the week of Jan. 8/01

    2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I'll just use my regular olive oil)
    1 tbsp balsamic vinigar
    1 tsp each Dijon mustard and liquid honey (those on Atkins could substitute an artificial sweetener here I suppose) I'm on CALP so I can have the honey for Reward Meal.
    Pinch of Salt
    Pinch of Pepper
    8 cups baby spinach, trimmed
    2 roasted sweet red peppers, cored and cut into strips (I'll get the kind already roasted and in a jar)
    1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted
    4 oz Brie cheese cut into 1 x 1 x 1/4 inch slices.
    In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Place spinach in salad bowl: pour dressing over top and toss to coat. Add red peppers, pecans and Brie cheese. Toss again. Makes 8 servings.

  • Just bringing this back up. Works with mesclun mix and walnuts if you can't find pecans. Artificial sweetener works fine too.
