The holiday meals seem to come one after another as Thanksgiving approaches. There are get-togethers like Friendsgiving, Hannukah, Christmas, and Kwanza that may require a dish or many to prepare. I like this salad, because it can be a one-step solution to many different events. It’s very pretty to present on a large platter for a lunch or dinner buffet. It is also easy to plate and serve individually. Here is a salad that celebrates the holiday season.
This colorful, crunchy, creamy salad satisfies all the flavor and texture components. The goat cheese is sprayed with olive oil and covered in Japanese-style crisp breadcrumbs called panko. Just before serving it is baked and placed on top of the fruit-laced baby greens.
