Ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty when you crawl back into bed. This refreshing and satisfying salad is perfect for those late-night cravings when you want something light but still totally delicious!
Trust me, this isn’t your boring old lettuce and tomato situation. This midnight marvel combines crispy romaine, sweet mandarin oranges, crunchy honey-glazed walnuts, and (my personal favorite) crumbled goat cheese. I literally caught my husband sneaking into the kitchen at 2 AM to make this – no joke!
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s worth the tiny bit of prep):
– 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
– 1/4 cup mandarin orange segments
– 3 tablespoons honey-glazed walnuts
– 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
– 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
– Light balsamic vinaigrette
The magic happens in just a few simple steps:
1. Wash and chop that romaine (because nobody wants dirty lettuce, am I right?)
2. Toss in those gorgeous orange segments
3. Sprinkle your walnuts and cranberries like you’re spreading fairy dust
4. Add that heavenly goat cheese
5. Drizzle with vinaigrette to taste
