Greens With Goat Cheese Croutons



INGREDIENTS
Vinaigrette: 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 small shallot, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 2 teaspoons Dijon style mustard 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1/4 cup walnut oil
Salad Ingredients: 2 small heads of Boston lettuce, wash well, spun dry, and shredded fine 1 small heat of radicchio, washed well, spun dry, and shredded fine
Goat Cheese Croutons: 2 (3-inch) soft goat cheese logs 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs 1/4 cup nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts), ground
DIRECTIONS
Vinaigrette:In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, shallot, garlic, mustard, parsley, and salt and pepper. Add walnut oil in a stream, whisking until it is emulsified (I used my blender for this). Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature before using.Salad:In a large bowl, toss the lettuce and the radicchio with the vinaigrette. Place salad mixture on individual salad plates. Top with Goat Cheese Croutons. Goat Cheese Croutons:Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch slices. (Tip: Use dental floss to slice the cheese logs cleanly.) Pour olive oil into a small bowl or saucer; dip goat cheese slices into olive oil and coat both sides of each cheese slice. In another small bowl or saucer, combine bread crumbs and nuts; dip the goat cheese slices into the crumb mixture.
Place the cheese croutons on a lightly oiled baking sheet. (NOTE: the croutons may be refrigerated at this point for several hours). Bake for approximately 6 minutes or until the cheese softens slightly and the crust turns deep golden. Remove from oven and transfer croutons to individual salads with a spatula. Serve immediately.
