So, let me guess.  One of your resolutions this New Year is to eat healthier?  Am I right?  I think we can all do a little better, especially after the holidays!

This is one of my new favorite salads, the combination of manchego cheese (a favorite) with macron almonds, and roasted red peppers really is taste bud heaven!  And, it’s perfect as a light lunch or dinner!

Mixed Greens Salad with Manchego Cheese, Marcona Almonds, and Roasted Red Peppers with a Mustard Vinaigrette

Mixed Greens
Manchego Cheese shavings
Marcona Almonds (I get mine at costco!)
Roasted  Red Peppers

Mix together to the portions you prefer

Mustard Vinaigrette

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon agave nectar
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon good quality dijon mustard
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Whisk together all ingredients except for the oil.  Drizzle in oil at the end very slowly as you whisk.

Serve over the salad.

Enjoy!
