Equipment

  • 1 mini food processor or an immersion blender

Ingredients
  

Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad

  • 6 cup mixed salad greens
  • ⅓ cup slivered almonds
  • 4 oz. goat cheese
  • 4 oz. strawberries (sliced, about ⅔ cup)
  • 4 slices bacon (cooked)
  • ¼ oz. freeze-dried strawberries

Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 2 oz. strawberries (sliced, about ⅓ cup)
  • 6 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (ground)

Instructions
 

  • Place the goat cheese in the freezer for about 10 minutes to aid in slicing.
  • Place ⅓ cup of strawberries, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a mini processor. Process until the dressing is smooth. Transfer to a serving container and set aside.
  • Wash and pat dry the salad greens. Place them in the bottom of a large serving bowl. Scatter the remaining sliced strawberries over the greens.
  • Toast the almonds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Transfer them to a plate to cool and then toss them over the salad greens.
  • Chop the cooked bacon and scatter the pieces over the strawberries and greens.
  • Place the freeze dried strawberries in a plastic zip bag. Crush them with a rolling pin or mallet. Transfer the strawberry powder to a plate or small bowl.
  • Remove the goat cheese from the freezer and carefully slice into rounds. Roll the edges of the cheese in the strawberry powder and place the cheese on the salad.
  • Drizzle the strawberry balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.
