Mixed Greens Salad with Warm Blueberries & Brie

Ingredients:


1 cup blueberry wine (such as Rodrigues Natural Dry, Newfoundland)
1 shallot, minced
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp each: salt and pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp walnut oil
1 cup dried blueberries
6 oz brie cheese, rind discarded
12 toasted baguette slices, sliced 1/4?inch on diagonal
6 cups mixed greens
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped

Cooking Instructions:

To make vinaigrette, whisk together wine, shallot, vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon, salt and pepper, vegetable and walnut oils, and transfer mixture to a medium saucepan. Add dried blueberries and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer mixture until syrupy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.

Preheat oven to 375°. Spread brie evenly over bread slices. Set slices on a baking sheet and broil until cheese melts and bread is toasted.

Divide greens evenly among serving plates. Set brie toasts over greens, and top with warm berries and a drizzle of dressing. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over salad and serve.
