ROASTED BEET, PEACH AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL
This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

ARUGULA, PEAR AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE VINAIGRETTE
I think this makes a perfect holiday salad. I will be making it for Thanksgiving and will report back. Source: Food52. com / brigidc's. This is her description of the salad. Sweet, salty, tart, crunchy and spicy, this salad has perfect flavor and texture balance. The inspiration was pomegranate molasses, which I learned about when I worked on a Persian food class. I like how the molasses takes the acidic edge off the vinaigrette but it is still tangy and delicious. Be sure to try this no fuss, no muss recipe Recipe #446884 I made my own pomegranate molasses: Recipe #490458 It's easy and can be reduced to make a smaller amount. It can be stored up to 6 months.

MARINATED BEET SALAD WITH WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE
It's easy to make a pretty good beet salad, but this one makes the leap into greatness. After decades of kitchen experiments, the chef and beet maven Andrew Carmellini shared how to elevate both elements: marinate the beets, then season and whip the goat cheese. Feel free to cook the beets on a grill instead of in the oven if you've got a fire going. Young beets, juicy and tender enough to bite into, can be used instead of the thick-skinned, mature kind. But do not roast: Steam them just until tender.

Steps:
- Prepare the beets: Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 degrees. Place a sheet pan underneath to catch any drips from the beets.
- Trim the greens, tops and stems from the beets. Wash thoroughly and wrap in aluminum foil packages, about 4 beets per package. Place the packages directly on the oven rack and bake until beets are easily pierced by a fork or knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on size. (No need to unwrap the beets to test them.)
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallots, oil, vinegar and a lavish sprinkling of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Remove beets from oven and carefully open packages to let the steam escape. Let cool at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Unwrap beets and use a peeler or your fingers to remove any tough skin. Dice beets neatly into bite-size pieces. Add to bowl with shallot mixture, mix well and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Stir occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a toaster oven or 350-degree oven, toast nuts until golden, about 5 minutes. If unsalted, sprinkle with salt. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
- Prepare the goat cheese: In a bowl, mix or whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Keep whipping until cheese is fluffy and soft. Taste and season with additional vinegar and salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve, pile beets on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon remaining dressing over the top. Spoon dollops of goat cheese mixture on and around the beets, then tuck in herbs and/or greens. Sprinkle with nuts and serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make the vinaigrette, use a good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can also add a touch of honey or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made vinaigrette or dressing. Just be sure to choose one that is light and flavorful, so it doesn't overpower the salad.
- Goat cheese can be crumbly, so it's best to gently toss the salad so you don't break up the cheese too much.
- Serve the salad immediately after assembling it, so the greens stay crisp and the vinaigrette doesn't have time to water down the salad.
Conclusion:
The goat cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your salad with a light vinaigrette or a creamy dressing, with fresh herbs or dried herbs, the goat cheese salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the goat cheese salad a try!
