My Favorite Warm Goat Cheese Salad
Warm goat cheese salad is hands-down my favorite salad of all time &mdash and that's saying a lot, as I am a big salad fan!
Created by serving fried goat cheese, known as chevre chaud in French, with salad greens and a vinaigrette dressing, this salad is sure to impress. It's a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds!
The recipe given here is one I created from combining several of my favorite salad ingredients, together with a homemade dressing that all blend especially well with the creamy, tangy taste of the warm goat cheese.
The sweet onion vinaigrette is a beautiful rose color, and the flavor adds interest to the cheese and the greens. The addition of fruit to the salad gives it a natural sweetness, and also goes well with the flavor of the goat cheese.
Serve a small portion of one piece of goat cheese with one cup of salad as an appetizer, or double the portions to have a salad that complements a meal. You can even step up the portions again, and add a thick piece of toasted garlic bread or cheese toast to have a delicious entree.
Ingredients:
Dressing- 1/4 cup chopped sweet red onion
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Salad
- 4 cups mixed spring greens
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1 banana
Chevre Chaud- 6-8 oz. chevre
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 egg
Dressing: Combine dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Salad: Slice the strawberries and bananas and toss with the greens to mix. Divide into serving bowls or plates.
Chevre Chaud: Place the egg and 1 tsp. water in a small bowl, and mix well with a fork or whisk. Place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Slice the chevre into 1/2" thick rounds. Dip in the egg, then roll in the bread crumbs. Brown both sides quickly in a pan with a small amount of oil.

Gently place the warm chevre onto the salad and top with vinaigrette (stir or shake first if it has begun to separate).
Now, enjoy &mdash both the taste and the compliments!
