I just posted one of my partner Rochel's recipes and I thought I'd share another. I feel silly posting this as a recipe because it is is less of a recipe than a list of ingredients, but it's so addictively tasty that I wanted to share it with you all. We make this with inexpensive kosher goat cheese we buy a huge log of for around $4 at Costco.
STRAWBERRY-PEAR SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE
[ Gluten-Free / Vegetarian / Soy-Free ]
Romaine lettuce, chopped or Boston lettuce, torn
Ripe pear, sliced
Strawberries, sliced
Goat cheese
Balsamic vinaigrette (balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, black pepper, a little dijon mustard and some raspberry jam or pomegranate juice to sweeten it a bit)
Optional: Pecans
On each plate put a generous amount of romaine lettuce, then arrange strawberries, pear slices and slices of goat cheese in an attractive way. Sprinkle with pecans (optional) and drizzle with dressing right before serving.
I love this "uncooking" series! What brand of goat cheese is gf and kosher from Costco? I adore Costco!
ReplyDeleteHere's another salad for you: cube ripe white peaches and dried cherries (from Costco) over romaine or bibb lettuce, add sliced almonds or toasted pecans. I top with a homemade vinaigrette made of 4 parts EVOO, 1 part pomegranate molasses, 1 part balsamic vinegar; plus, leftover peach juices. SO GOOD!
It's this stuff from Woolwich Dairy. It might be regional. It's OU. A very generous log for under $5.
ReplyDeleteThat salad sounds amazing! I'd have to peel the peaches because I can't bear the feeling of my teeth going through the fuzzy skin (weird, I know). It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. But I love the taste of peaches. I'll have to give it a go - Sounds like we like similar salads and dressings! I don't think I've ever put dried cherries on a salad but I love them so I'll have to give it a try.
I'm going to post another really delicious green salad that features fruit soon.
