Double Goat Cheese Salad with Tomato and CucumberThe origin of this goat cheese salad is yet another credit to the truth of Plato's oft-quoted line, "Necessity is the mother of invention."
It was late in the week, and I had neglected to do the regular grocery shopping. I squeezed out a main dish for dinner with a little effort, but had practically nothing that would do as a side dish. As I dug through the refrigerator, I noticed plenty of tomatoes, and a lonely cucumber &mdash but no lettuce for a real salad. However, there were several small servings of different goat cheeses from a prior shopping experience. The idea clicked like a light bulb, and in just a few minutes, my new "invention" was ready to serve. It makes a nice alternative to a traditional salad. I hope you enjoy it. 
Combine the tomatoes, cucumber and onion in a large bowl. Add the dressing, and stir to combine thoroughly. Crumble the chevre into the salad and mix gently. Grate the Ibores onto the top of the salad. Serve immediately or refrigerate for several hours first. As the salad sets, the chevre will "melt" into the dressing for a creamier effect.
