SALAD WITH WARM GOAT CHEESE

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (11-ounce) log plain or herbed Montrachet
2 extra-large egg whites, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Fresh white bread crumbs
2 tablespoons good cider vinegar
2 tablespoons good Champagne vinegar
Pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 extra-large egg yolk
1 cup good olive oil
Enough mixed salad greens for 6 servings
Olive oil and unsalted butter, for frying

Steps:

  • Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. (The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.) Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
  • For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened. Season, to taste.
  • Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking. Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside. Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH FRIED GORGONZOLA



Arugula Salad with Fried Gorgonzola image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 2h27m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 ounces Gorgonzola
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3/4 cup dried Italian bread crumbs
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for deep-frying
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 cups coarsely torn arugula (about 10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Blend the Gorgonzola in a food processor until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the work bowl occasionally. Using 1 rounded teaspoon of cheese for each, form the cheese into 18 (1-inch) balls. Working in batches, coat the balls with the egg then with the bread crumbs. Repeat coating the balls in the egg and bread crumbs. Arrange the balls on a small baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, and lemon peel in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup oil. Season the dressing, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set the dressing aside.
  • Add enough oil to a heavy small saucepan to come 2 inches up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. At this point, remove the refrigerated Gorgonzola balls from the refrigerator. Working in batches, add the cold balls to the hot oil and fry just until golden brown, about 20 seconds. (It is essential that the Gorgonzola balls be cold when they go into the oil, otherwise they will fall apart in the oil. If they start to warm up at any point, return them to the refrigerator to firm back up.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried balls to paper towels to drain.
  • Toss the arugula in a large bowl with enough dressing to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mound the salad on plates. Top the salads with the hot fried Gorgonzola balls and serve immediately.

ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Arugula, Cherry and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad was inspired by a dish billed as Cherries and Goat Cheese on the menu at Westside Tavern in Los Angeles. Even if you're not inclined to add fruits like blueberries and cranberries to salads, this combination could change your mind. Even sweet cherries have a tart edge to them, and the combination of their sweet/tart flavor and juicy but firm texture with the pungent arugula, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts works very well.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL



Arugula Salad With Peaches, Goat Cheese and Basil image

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 salad with fried goat cheese is an amazing combination to delight your taste buds. The peppery taste of arugula, nutty flavor of goat cheese, and sweet tanginess of balsamic dressing makes it a perfect salad recipe for any occasion. Here are some valuable tips to follow when making arugula salad with fried goat cheese recipes that will help you make the perfect and best-tasting salad every time.
Tip 1: Choose the Best Ingredients
Ingredient selection is the most important step when making any recipe. When making arugula salad with fried goat cheese, it is important to choose the freshest and best ingredients. Choose fresh arugula leaves with deep green color, goat cheese with a smooth and creamy texture, and balsamic vinegar with a tangy and sweet taste. Always opt for organic and locally produced ingredients as they are healthier and fresher.
Tip 2: Make the Perfect Dressing
The dressing is the ultimate finishing touch to any salad. When making arugula salad with fried goat cheese, make sure to make the perfect dressing that complements the flavors of the salad. Balsamic vinaigrette or honey mustard dressing is a great option to pair with arugula and goat cheese. You can also try adding a splash of lemon juice or honey to the dressing for an extra zing.
Tip 3: Fry the Goat Cheese Perfectly
Frying the goat cheese is the key to making this salad recipe more delicious and satisfying. When frying the goat cheese, make sure to cut it into small bite-size pieces and coat it with breadcrumbs, flour, or panko. Heat a non-stick pan with a generous amount of oil and fry the goat cheese pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Do not overcook the cheese, as it will lose its shape and texture.
Tip 4: Add Crunchy Toppings
To make the salad more flavorful and crunchy, add some toppings to the salad. You can try adding some toasted nuts, sunflower seeds, or croutons to the salad. This will give the salad an amazing texture and flavor that will leave you wanting more.
Tip 5: Serve the Salad Tightly Packed
When serving the salad, make sure to pack it tightly in a bowl or platter. This will prevent the arugula from wilting and keeping the goat cheese crisps from getting soggy. You can also drizzle some of the dressing on top and toss it around right before serving. This will ensure that every bite of the salad is full of flavor and texture.
Tip 6: Experiment with Flavor Pairings
Arugula salad with fried goat cheese is a perfect base for experimenting with different flavors and ingredients. You can try adding some fresh fruits like berries, pears, or apples to the salad to add a touch of sweetness. Adding some roasted vegetables like squash, beets or carrots also makes the salad more filling and delicious.
