Warm Goat Cheese Salad

This salad is one of my favorites. It's satisfying and savory and delicious. Make sure you buy fresh herbs vs dried. It makes a huge difference. 


Buy enough goat cheese so every person can have one 2 inch slice of the goat cheese log. 

Buy a spring mix of lettuce. 

Marinate your goat cheese slices (like hockey puck sized) in 2 cups of walnut oil. You can sub olive oil if needed. Add 2 tablespoons each of freshly chopped rosemary, tarragon, thyme, and chives. Macerate the herbs in the oil before you add the goat cheese pucks. Marinate at least 4 hours, overnight is best. 

Take pucks out of oil and bake on sheet pan at 400 degrees for about ten minutes. Cheese will begin to spread out and about double in size. 

Dress your spring mix in the left over oil and then serve immediately once pucks are placed on individual salads. 

This is sooooo good.
