Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 3 1/2-ounce logs soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), chilled
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
8 cups mixed baby greens
1 avocado, peeled, halved, pitted, cut into thin wedges
8 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut each goat cheese log crosswise into 6 rounds. Place nuts in a shallow bowl. Press cheese rounds into nuts, turning to coat. Arrange cheese rounds on plate; reserve any remaining nuts. Cover cheese; chill.
  • Mound greens in large salad bowl. Arrange avocado wedges atop greens. Whisk 6 tablespoons live oil and vinegar in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add cheese rounds; sauté until just warmed through but still holding shape, about 1 minute per side. Arrange cheese rounds on top of salad. Drizzle dressing over; sprinkle with reserved macadamia nuts and serve.

I'm allergic to macadamias, so I substituted walnuts. It was still delicious!

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of macadamias, goat cheese, and dried cherries was divine. I also loved the addition of the balsamic vinaigrette, which really brought all the flavors together. Will definitely be making t
