Dandelion Greens with Warm Roasted Garlic Dressing

Ingredients:

• Roasted Garlic Dressing:
• 1 large head garlic, roasted (see How To)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red-wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• Salad:
• 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted (see Tip)
• 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 6 cups bite-size pieces dandelion greens or spinach (about 1 bunch), tough stems removed
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. To prepare dressing: Squeeze roasted garlic pulp into a blender or food processor (discard the skins). Add oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt and pepper and blend or process until smooth.
2. To prepare salad: Transfer the dressing to a small saucepan and place over medium heat until warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shallot and simmer until the shallot is softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Place dandelion greens (or spinach) in a large salad bowl. Pour the warm dressing over the greens and toss until they are wilted and coated. Add pine nuts and goat cheese and toss again, slightly melting the cheese with the warm greens. Season with pepper.
