Ingredients

Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese Rounds

  • 1 log goat cheese, sliced into rounds

  • 1/3 cup Pereg Panko Crumbs

  • 1/3 cup finely crushed pistachios

  • pinch of salt

  • 1 egg

  • oil for frying, or oil spray, for faux-frying

Shallot Vinaigrette

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Honey

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • freshly cracked pepper

Salad

  • 1 package salad greens of your choice

  • 1 beet, uncooked, julienned

  • 1 Granny Smith apple, julienned

Directions

Prepare the Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese Rounds

1.

Combine the panko, pistachio and salt in a shallow bowl. Beat the egg in another.

2.

Coat each goat cheese slice in the beaten egg then pistachio mixture.

3.

To fry, heat about 4 tablespoons oil in an 8-to-10-inch skillet pan. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Alternatively, to bake, place the coated goat cheese on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.

Prepare the Salad

1.

Prepare the dressing: Add all the ingredients to a jar, seal tightly and shake to combine and emulsify.

2.

Add greens to a large platter. Scatter beet, apple and avocado over the top. Top with the goat cheese rounds, and drizzle dressing over everything, followed by balsamic glaze. Enjoy immediately.

This salad looked too beautiful to eat and was absolutely delicious! Also, the vinaigrette alone is really delicious as a dressing for other salads. Really easy to make : ) just goat cheese is very expensive. Any cheese that would be a good sub that’s less expensive? Thanks Esti for this great recipe!

So glad you enjoyed the salad! I would say you could try it with feta, however it does have a much stronger/saltier flavor.
