Start off your romantic dinner with a light and refreshing salad that incorporates seasonal flavors. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. In a separate bowl, mix together the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, and goat cheese. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Serve in individual bowls or plates and garnish with additional strawberries and goat cheese for a picture-perfect dish.
A Valentine's Day dinner wouldn't be complete without a decadent main course. Wrap the filet mignon steaks with bacon slices and secure them with toothpicks. In a skillet, melt the butter and add in the minced garlic and rosemary. Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. The bacon adds a smoky and savory flavor to the tender filet mignon, making it the perfect dish for a special occasion.
No Valentine's Day dinner is complete without a side of creamy and flavorful mashed potatoes. Boil the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. In a separate pan, melt the butter and add in the minced garlic. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add in the garlic butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Serve alongside the main course for a delicious and comforting side dish.
End the evening on a sweet note with these chocolate-covered strawberries. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them completely. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Serve as a romantic and indulgent treat to end the perfect Valentine's Day dinner.
With this recipe for a Valentine's Day dinner, you'll have all the elements for a romantic and delicious evening with your loved one. Don't forget to add some candles, soft music, and a bottle of wine to set the mood. Happy Valentine's Day!
