Recipe: toasted goat cheese salad with raspberries
Toasted Goat Cheese Salad with Raspberries
Dressing
1 tablespoon minced, fresh garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked pepper
1 tablespoon Italian herb blend
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Salad
12 to 16 ounces fresh organic baby greens, rinsed and spun dry
1 pint fresh raspberries, rinsed and dried
Heat the butter in a large, nonstick sauce pan over medium-high heat and add the garlic. Arrange goat cheese patties in the pan and fry for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully turn the patties and brown the other side; remove pan from heat.
Makes 8 servings.
Toss the greens with the dressing and divide among eight salad plates. Top with a slice of the goat cheese and garnish with fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
To make the goat cheese: Mix together breadcrumbs, herbs, pepper and salt in a shallow dish. Using unflavored dental floss held taut between your index fingers, slice the goat cheese into eight, approximately one-inch-thick slices. In a small, shallow bowl, slightly beat the eggs. Dip the slices into the egg and then the breadcrumbs. Allow to rest on a sheet of wax paper.
