Salade Au Chevre Chaud (Salad With Warm Goat Cheese) image

Delicious salad which is commonplace throughout France, using fresh goat cheese. A more traditional version of this salad would call for thicker rounds of goat cheese, but don't feel deprived with this lower-fat version. You still get a nice portion of creamy goat cheese to eat with your salad.

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 -8 garlic-flavored croutons (homemade or bought)
4 (1/2 inch) goat cheese, rounds (fresh and firm, about 1/4 pound)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 lb lettuce (either one kind or a mixture of firm bitter lettuces such as curly endive, red-leaf, arugula, and le)
12 -15 fresh chervil, sprigs
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
tiny radish (to garnish)
2 -3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced (or put through a garlic press)
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed (or 1 tsp. chopped fresh)
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the croutons on a baking sheet and top the rounds of cheese. Sprinkle with thyme and rosemary.
  • Make the vinaigrette. Mix together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and tarragon. Whisk in the yogurt and oil and add salt and pepper.
  • Shortly before serving the salad, place the cheese-topped croutons in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.
  • Toss the lettuce, chervil, and red pepper together with the dressing and distribute among salad plates.
  • Top the salads with the hot cheese croutons, garnish with radishes and serve at once.

This salad was a waste of time. The goat cheese was not melted at all and the dressing was too bland. I will not be making this again.

This salad was not what I expected. The goat cheese was not warm and melted, and the dressing was too vinegary. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with this salad. The goat cheese was not melted all the way through and the dressing was too oily. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. The goat cheese was not very flavorful and the dressing was too light. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese, but this salad changed my mind. The cheese was creamy and tangy, and it paired perfectly with the sweet and savory dressing. I'll definitely be making this again!
