ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED MUSHROOMS & GOAT CHEESE



Arugula Salad With Grilled Mushrooms & Goat Cheese image

Well-known for his healthy eating habits, Barack Obama was called an elitist when he noted the high price of arugula at Whole Foods while on the campaign trail. He'd appreciate this arugula, mushroom and goat cheese salad from author and health guru Dr. Andrew Weil, who says that the mushrooms are high in protein and "virtually devoid of fat." Thus, we can top this delicious salad with a little creamy cheese without worrying about adding an unhealthy amount of fat. ;) F&W Magazine, February 2006 Edition from the Beauty of Mushrooms.There is a 20 minute marinating time.

GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE



Grilled Vegetable Salad with Goat Cheese image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 large red bell pepper
1 large orange or yellow bell pepper
2 or 3 small zucchini
2 or 3 small yellow summer squash
1 medium eggplant
1 medium red onion
1 large portobello mushroom
Vegetable cooking spray
1/4 cup Rosemary Garlic Oil, recipe follows
1 large or 2 smaller bunches arugula
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 ounces rindless goat cheese, such as Montrachet or Coach Farms
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, slivered
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary noodles (from about 2 sprigs) or 1 tablespoon dried
2 pinches salt, preferably coarse
A generous grind of coarse black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut out the pepper stems and then slice each lengthwise along the ribs or ridges into 3 or 4 large triangular wedges. Trim the stem and blossom ends from the zucchini and squash and cut them lengthwise into thin slices. Trim the eggplant and cut crosswise into 12 slices 1/4 to 3/8-inch thick. Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Trim the portobello mushroom stem even with the cap so it will lie flat on the grill. Brush all over with 1/2 tablespoon of the Rosemary Garlic Oil. Set aside.
  • Set a cast iron grill pan over high heat and coat with vegetable cooking spray. Let it warm up for 3 to 5 minutes (or light your outdoor grill). Using a pastry brush, coat the zucchini, squash, eggplant, and red onion slices with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining oil; it will be a very thin film, but it should be enough. The peppers do not need any. Grill the vegetables, except the onion in batches as necessary, on each side, rotating them 45 degrees to make cross-hatch grill marks. They should be cooked until they are nicely browned, but not charred, cooked through but still hold their texture. The peppers will have black marks on the outside, but they are eaten with their skin and bright color intact. Grill the mushroom stem side down first, so when it is turned and finishes cooking, the juices will be retained. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the onion, turning and rotating as described, until tender and browned but not burned. Here are the approximate cooking times, which will vary with your grill: Peppers - 6 to 7 minutes per side Zucchini and squash - 2 to 3 minutes on first side, 2 minutes on second Eggplant - 4 to 6 minutes per side Red Onion - 3 to 4 minutes per side Portobello - 5 to 6 minutes per side As the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to plates or a large baking sheet lined with wax paper. Transfer the portobello to a cutting board and let cool for at least 5 minutes; then slice. Be sure to reserve any mushroom juices. Season the grilled vegetables and mushroom lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Line a large round or oval serving platter with the arugula. Arrange the grilled vegetables decoratively in bunches around the edge of the platter. Pile up the pepper wedges in the center.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice with the remaining Garlic Rosemary Oil. Mix in any reserved mushroom juices. Drizzle evenly over the salad. Crumble goat cheese on top. Serve at room temperature.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a small glass jar with a lid. Let stand at room temperature at least 15 minutes, preferably 1 hour. If not using within several hours, cover and refrigerate for up to a week.;

ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Arugula, Cherry and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad was inspired by a dish billed as Cherries and Goat Cheese on the menu at Westside Tavern in Los Angeles. Even if you're not inclined to add fruits like blueberries and cranberries to salads, this combination could change your mind. Even sweet cherries have a tart edge to them, and the combination of their sweet/tart flavor and juicy but firm texture with the pungent arugula, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts works very well.
