Farm Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese, Grapes, Apples, Homemade Croutons & Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Author Amanda

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh greens like bok choy, arugula, kale, etc, rinsed and finely chopped
  • 1 small sweet apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 handful grapes, halved
  • 1 good chunk of goat cheese
  • 1 thick slice favorite bread, cut in bite-size chunks
  • dried oregano
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 TBS + extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 TBS apple cider vinegar
  • good squeeze of honey
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, pressed (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. In a large enough bowl, season the chopped greens with salt and pepper. Add in the sliced grapes, apples and goat cheese. 

    Toss the bread cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper and dried oregano for taste. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for not even a minute - or until they are crunchy to your liking.

    In a small bowl, pour in the apple cider vinegar and squeeze of honey. Pour in the olive oil as whisk to emulsify (it'll become thicker). Season with salt and pepper and the fresh pressed garlic, if using. Taste. If it's too tart, add in some more honey. If you prefer more tart, add in some more vinegar!

    Toss the salad, breadcrumbs and vinaigrette all together. Enjoy!!
