Walnut-crusted goat cheese salad with strawberries

Sometimes, even with your best efforts at making something delicious, you end up with a not so satisfying result. That is why this is not a recipe for The “Best Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins”, but instead it’s a warm goat cheese and strawberry salad.  After a day of baking and taste testing lemon poppy seed muffins, this body was pleading with me to feed it something green.  

Walnut-crusted Goat Cheese Salad  

I usually make this with fresh blueberries, but tonight it will be strawberries.  Warm goat cheese is splendid on a salad, even better if it is walnut-crusted.  Top it off with Balsamic Dressing and it’s a winner.
