Warm Goat’s Cheese Salad Recipe
Warm Goat’s Cheese Salad is an affluent source of calcium and protein. The goats’ cheese used in this amazingly flavorful dish has a lower fat content than lots of traditional cheeses. Always make sure to select a cheese that is semi firm and creamy from inside. Presenting the Warm Goat’s Cheese Salad on the bed of head frisée is a wonderful idea to enhance its overall look of the dish. You can replace the head frisée with some fresh salad herbs as well.

Take hold of a medium non-sticking frying pan and pour the vegetable oil into it. Now set it on the stove and adjust its heat to medium range. Leave for few seconds to warm.

Turn off the heat of the stove and then arrange kitchen towel paper on a large plate. Gently remove the frying pan from heat and shift the fried cheese squares into the lined plate. Leave it until the kitchen towel paper absorbs the oil in the fried cheese squares.

Until then, take a dry, clean sauté pan and set it on your stove with medium-low heat range. Add in the 2 tablespoons of pine nuts once the sauté pan is finely warm and toss for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly golden.

Remove the toasted pine nuts from heat and shift into a large serving bowl. Add in torn head frisée and 2 cups of the halved purple seedless grapes. Drizzle ½ cup of Garlic Vinaigrette over the ingredients and lightly toss to coat the ingredients.
