Nasturtium
and Arugula Salad with
Warm Goat Cheese |
|
|
|
|
A typical
salad can be made extraordinary with the addition of edible
flowers and gently warmed goat cheese crostini. Nasturtiums
come in vivid orange, red and yellow hues and contain a form
of mustard oil that gives them a peppery flavor. They can
be found at gourmet stores or by placing a special order with
your regular grocer's produce department. Keep them chilled
until ready to serve.
Ingredients (makes 6 servings):
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 1 lb arugula leaves
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (we suggest Fruttato)
- 2 tbsp baslamic vinegar
- salt and pepper
- 12 slices of bread
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Prepare the Vinagrette with Oil, salt, pepper and Balsamic Vinegar.
Pour the vinagrette over the salad and portion the salad in
half of each serving plate.
Spread the Goat Cheese on the bread slices and bake them for
about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and place two slices in the
empty half of each serving plate . Spread over each slice a
small quantity of fresh thyme.
Place two different colors of Nastrurtiums on the salad and
serve immediately. |
