Ingredients:

Serving

5 1/2 oz about 2/3 cup fresh goat cheese
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided plus more as needed
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided plus more as needed
4 tsp dry white wine
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (at least two from the following ( parsley , chives , tarragon , dill)
1 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
8 baguette, slices cut 1/2 inch diagonally
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 oz mixed spring greens

Directions:

To make crostini:.
1. In a food processor (or mixing bowl with a wooden spoon) add the goat cheese, 4 teaspoons olive oil and the wine. Pulse one or two times, just to blend. The mixture should be spreadable; if too thick, add more olive oil and pulse again. Transfer mixture to bowl, and stir in salt and pepper to taste, herbs and lemon zest. Chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place baguette slices on a large baking sheet and brush lightly on both sides with remaining olive oil (using more oil as necessary). Bake for about 5 minutes on one side; turn and bake another 3 minutes on the second side. Set aside.
To make salad:.
1. In a small bowl combine the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste and whisk to blend. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. (feel free to use more olive oil and vinegar if wanted).
2. Just before serving, add dressing to mixed greens and toss gently. Divide among 4 salad plates. Spread a nice schmear of herbed cheese on the toasted baguette slices and place 2 slices on each plate on top of the salads. Serve immediately.
