Simple Mesclun Salad with Toasted Pine Nuts & Simple Olive Oil & Vinegar Dressing with Fresh Herbs

With farm-fresh mixed mesclun from my local CSA, I don't need lots of other stuff to "flavor-up" a salad, the mesclun alone is so flavorful & peppery. 

Ingredients:
Several handfuls of mesclun
A handful of chopped green peppers
(a handful of chopped red onions would be a nice addition)
A handful of toasted pine nuts





Simple olive oil & vinegar dressing
Ingredients:

Using a "Good Seasons" salad dressing bottle, add:
Extra virgin olive oil to the "o" line
Water to the "w" line
Balsamic vinegar to the "v" line
Several cloves of fresh garlic, minced
Sea salt, ground
Freshly ground pepper
Fresh herb of your choice (rosemary, thyme, or basil are nice)





Drizzle dressing on salad right before eating. Enjoy this fresh, simple yet flavorful salad & dressing. :)
