Mushroom Apple And Goat Cheese Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. (The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.) Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
• For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened. Season, to taste.
• Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
• Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking. Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside. Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.

Steps:

• Place walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake at 350* for 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add mushrooms, and saute 6 minutes or until tender.
• Stir in 2 tablespoons Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette.
• Remove from heat, and let cool 15 minutes.
• Toss together arugula, apple, mushrooms, and desired amount of Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette.
• Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with toasted walnuts and goat cheese.

Steps:

• Put the arugula, apple, and crumbled goat cheese together in a serving bowl.
• Drizzle with olive oil, vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the greens, apples, raisins and grapes. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, honey, lemon juice and garlic. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts and goat cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss pepitas with olive oil and salt in a bowl. Spread on baking sheet and toast in oven until golden and popped, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool. Place pepitas and cranberries in bottom of a salad bowl.
• In another bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and zest, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk until emulsified.
• Thinly slice each apple quarter crosswise, and add to salad bowl. Add lettuce and dressing, and toss to mix. Crumble cheese over salad and serve.
