Goat Cheese Salad
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
Salad:
- 8 Crostini about 3" in diameter
- 8 slices Spanish Cana de Cabra goat cheese or French Bucheron goat cheese
- 1/2 lb. Baby Arugula
- 1 cup Balsamic vinaigrette
Balsamic Vinaigrette:
- 1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon or brown mustard
- pinch each Salt & Pepper
Instructions
Balsamic Vinaigrette:
- In a salad dressing shaker or a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine all ingredients and shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed.
Salad:
- To prepare the crostini, preheat oven to 400°. (At the Chapoquoit Grill, they use their focaccia or whole grain bread sliced to ½-inch thick.) Bread is then lightly toasted or can be grilled with a light brush of extra virgin olive oil. Arrange the toasted crostini on a baking sheet and top with a slice of the goat cheese. Toast for about 3 minutes in the oven or until the cheese is soft but not melted.
- In a bowl, toss arugula with the vinaigrette and move to serving platter. Cut the crostini in half and arrange around the edge of the platter with arugula in the center.
