Towering Goat Cheese Salad
Towering Goat Cheese Salad
Ingredients
- 3 sheets phyllo dough
- Approximately 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter
- 2 logs (100 g) semi-firm goat cheese
- 6 cups (1.5 litres) mixed greens
- 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground fennel seeds
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 ºC (350 ºF).
- Stack the phyllo sheets, brushing with melted butter between each layer. With a 12.5-cm (5-inch) plate or bowl, cut out 4 circles in the dough. Place on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together all the vinaigrette ingredients. Set aside.
- Cut each log in half crosswise, then each piece lengthwise into four towers for a total of 16 pieces.
- At the centre of each plate, place 4 pieces of cheese as a standing support for the phyllo disk. Top with the phyllo disks. Divide the mixed greens among the disks. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes.
