I once made this salad for my wife and son Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon honey, divided |
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 egg, beaten |
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
8 ounces fresh goat cheese |
4 cups spring mix salad greens |
Directions:
1. In a shallow microwave-safe dish, combine pecans and 2 teaspoons honey; microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until toasted, stirring twice. Immediately transfer to waxed paper-lined baking sheet to cool. For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup oil, vinegar, remaining honey, salt and pepper; set aside.
2. Place the flour, egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Shape cheese into eight balls; flatten slightly. Coat cheese with flour, then dip in egg and coat with bread crumbs.
3. Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-hight heat. Fry cheese for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4. Divide salad greens among four plates; top with cheese. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with honey pecans. Yield: 4 servings.
