Salade Au Chevre Chaud (Salad With Warm Goat Cheese) image

Delicious salad which is commonplace throughout France, using fresh goat cheese. A more traditional version of this salad would call for thicker rounds of goat cheese, but don't feel deprived with this lower-fat version. You still get a nice portion of creamy goat cheese to eat with your salad.

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 -8 garlic-flavored croutons (homemade or bought)
4 (1/2 inch) goat cheese, rounds (fresh and firm, about 1/4 pound)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 lb lettuce (either one kind or a mixture of firm bitter lettuces such as curly endive, red-leaf, arugula, and le)
12 -15 fresh chervil, sprigs
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
tiny radish (to garnish)
2 -3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced (or put through a garlic press)
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed (or 1 tsp. chopped fresh)
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the croutons on a baking sheet and top the rounds of cheese. Sprinkle with thyme and rosemary.
  • Make the vinaigrette. Mix together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and tarragon. Whisk in the yogurt and oil and add salt and pepper.
  • Shortly before serving the salad, place the cheese-topped croutons in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.
  • Toss the lettuce, chervil, and red pepper together with the dressing and distribute among salad plates.
  • Top the salads with the hot cheese croutons, garnish with radishes and serve at once.

The warm goat cheese was a bit too rich for my taste, but the rest of the salad was delicious. I'll try it again with a different type of cheese.
