This recipe uses the PK spice blend to make a bright and savory vinaigrette, perfect for balancing the sweet and earthy flavors of this plum and dandelion salad.
Plum and Dandelion Greens Salad with PK Spice Vinaigrette
Use a mortar and pestle or chef’s knife to mash the pine nuts into a chunky paste. Slowly add the olive oil while still mashing. It’s important to add the oil to the nuts while mashing because the nuts will get gummy if mashed without it. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the shallots, vinegar, and lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with salt. Cover tightly and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
