Goat cheese salad

Pairing: Goat cheese salad

Recipe

Ingredients

Goat Cheese: 4 ounces, crumbled or in slices
Mixed Greens: 4 cups (arugula, spinach, or mesclun)
Fruit: 1 apple or pear, thinly sliced; or a handful of dried cranberries
Nuts: 1/4 cup walnuts or almonds, toasted
Dressing: 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes: Fresh herbs (such as thyme or basil)

Instructions

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with a bit of the dressing to coat lightly. Arrange the sliced fruit and crumbled goat cheese over the greens. Sprinkle the toasted nuts on top.
Serve: Drizzle additional dressing over the salad if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and serve immediately.
Wine Pairing: Pair your goat cheese salad with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rosé to enhance the fresh, tangy flavors of the cheese and fruits. For a red wine option, a light and fruity Beaujolais or a Loire Valley Cabernet Franc offers a pleasant, balanced pairing
