Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 5 ounces Soft goat cheese (chevre)
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (optional)
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 8 thin slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the soft goat cheese evenly across each of the 8 baguette slices.
Place the goat cheese-topped baguette slices onto a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is warmed and slightly golden.
While the baguette is baking, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with the prepared vinaigrette to evenly coat the leaves.
Divide the dressed greens among 4 plates, adding cherry tomatoes and fresh basil (if using) as garnish.
Remove the toasted baguette with goat cheese from the oven and place 2 slices on top of each plated salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salade Au Chevre!
