Green Salad With Toasted Pinenuts Food

TOSSED SALAD WITH PINE NUTS

Tossed Salad with Pine Nuts image

This wonderful 5-ingredient recipe from Alice Tremont in Rochester Hills, Michigan is easy and elegant...with lots of blue cheese flavor and crunch from the pine nuts. Topped with raspberry vinaigrette dressing, it couldn't be much easier to toss together on a busy weeknight or much nicer to serve company. Alice often serves it on special occasions and says it always gets compliments, and that adding grilled chicken breast turns it into a fuss-free and fabulous main dish.

TRI-COLOR CHOPPED SALAD WITH PINE NUTS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Tri-Color Chopped Salad with Pine Nuts and Parmesan Cheese image

This salad has become a staple of my kitchen. I like that it is a chopped salad, a technique that virtually ensures each bite will include every ingredient. There is something magical about the pine nut and Parmesan combination, a fact that will not be lost on pesto lovers. This is one of those rare recipes that justifies the expense of imported Parmigiano-Reggiano.
