Recipe here.
This was delicious and ridiculously quick. The Easy Herb Vinaigrette in the recipe was indeed, easy and was quite tasty, but you could also use a balsamic vinaigrette or any other dressing that you prefer (although I would stay away from anything creamy, so that it doesn’t overpower the cheese.) I highly recommend allowing the cheese to come to room temperature, as the cheese is much more palatable that way. Nothing worse than a cold glob of cheese, in my opinion. I used lowfat cream cheese for The Boy, because goat cheese is a little too gamey for him. Boursin would also be good.
I was planning to grill some chicken to serve with this, but I forgot until I had the salads completely prepared and ready to go. It was a very light dinner, but we didn’t miss the chicken at all, because we were having a VERY decadent dessert. (Check out the next post for details.)
