Vegetarian Spanish Chorizo Salad

Ingredients

Mixed Greens		6 Cups
Soy Chorizo		1/2 Cup
Roasted Red Pepper Strips		1/2 Cup
GreenOlives		1/4 Cup
Manchego Cheese		1/4 Cup
Red Onion		1/4
Marcona Almonds		1/4 Cup
White Beans		1/2 Cup

Sherry Vinaigrette Dressing

Sherry Vinegar		3 Tablespoons
Garlic		2 Cloves
Chorizo Oil

I found the soy chorizo at Trader Joes, you can use regular chorizo just cut it into small chunks, the soy does not have as much oil as the regular so you may need to add more oil to the dressing.

I used Pine nuts instead of Marcona Almonds as I am not a huge fan of paying $10 for a handful of nuts.

1. Cook the Chorizo in about 2 Tablespoons of Oil for about 3-5 minutes, remove the crispy Chorizo and leave the oil in the pan as you will use it for the Dressing, add the Sherry Vinegar and crushed Garlic, whisk it all together and set aside.
2. Assemble the Salad By slicing the Red Onion and placing it in a small bowl of cold water.
3. Slice the Olives in half, Drain and rinse the White Beans, shave the Manchego Cheese, dice the Roasted Red Peppers.
4. Place the Greens in a large bowl and add the other ingredients.
5. Serve with the Dressing on the side.
