COCOA NIB VINAIGRETTE AND SALAD
Steps:

- Add the vinegar, shallot, salt, and red pepper flakes, and let sit for about 25 minutes.
- Transfer to a jar, twist on the lid, and shake like crazy.
- Toss lettuce with vinaigrette to taste. Divide dressed lettuce between 2 serving dishes. Arrange remaining salad ingredients over the lettuce. Serve with any remaining vinaigrette on the side.
