This is a great Weight Watcher’s salad with only a points value of 2. Lots of flavor with the cheese, cranberries and pecans. I especially enjoy the soft, buttery textured leaves of Boston or Bibb lettuce.
Boston Lettuce with Goat Cheese, Cranberries and Pecans
- 2 tbsp. raspberry vinegar
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp. red onion, finely chopped
- 1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce
- 2 tbsp. dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp. goat cheese, crumbled (a blue cheese is good too)
- 2 tbsp. pecans, toasted and chopped
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir in the onion. Evenly divide all of the lettuce leaves, torn into bite-size pieces, on each of 4 plates. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the cranberries, cheese and pecans.
