Recently when we were in Mexico and having a lot of really great food, I grew a new appreciation for goat cheese. I have had it plenty but not sure I ever registered exactly what it was when I tasted it. It is so creamy and not an overpowering flavor. I personally love cheese and really love goat cheese!!! My friend ordered a salad similar to this with breakfast one morning that she let me eat plenty of bites off of and after craving it every since, I decided to come up with my own version. :)
Ingredients:
- Large Tomato
- Ripe Avocado
- Crumbled goat cheese
- Olive Oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
- Basil
Directions:
I am sure there a lot of ways you could go about making this with various variations but here is what I have usually done for something quick and simple.
- On a plate, drizzle olive oil and then balsamic vinegar to your preference.
- Slice your tomato and lay slices on top of the oil and vinegar.
- Pepper your tomatoes to taste.
- Slice your avocado and lay on top of tomatoes.
- Salt your avocados to taste.
- With a spoon, sprinkle your goat cheese all over the top to taste.
- Sprinkle basil (fresh or dried will work) on top of cheese.
- Enjoy!!!
I am going to work on a rendition of this with grape tomatoes that will hopefully serve more easily at a gathering but doesn't require the effort of stuffing them. This could also be really good with some cucumber added in as well I bet!
