Mizuna Greens Salad with Hearts of Palm, Artichoke Hearts and Goat Cheese

Mizuna is a versatile leaf that can be added to a salad such as this or lightly sautéed.  I like the shape and texture of the leaves because they have a slight crispness to them. The hearts of palm, goat cheese and artichoke hearts round this dish out nicely.

Ingredients:
4 oz – Mizuna lettuce leaves
4 Hearts of Palm – cut into quarters and then chopped
1 cup diced grape tomatoes
Small jar of marinated and quartered artichoke hearts – about 3.5 oz jar
3 oz goat cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper

Serving size: 4

Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar dressing.  3:1 ratio of extra virgin olive oil to balsamic vinegar.

Plate and then crumble goat cheese over the top of the salad.
