Ingredients : Crisp Pasta & Goat Cheese Salad Recipe
12 Wonton skins
Corn oil, for frying
4 oz Goat cheese
1 oz Cream cheese
1 oz (about 2 Tbsps) sour cream
1 tbsp Chives, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1/2 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp Garlic, chopped
1 tsp Shallots, chopped
Black pepper, freshly
Ground
4 Hearts of palm, cut into
1/4-in slices
16 Cherry tomatoes or yellow
Teardrop tomatoes
SALAD DRESSING
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Garlic, chopped
1 tsp Salt
1/3 tsp White pepper
1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
5 tbsp Olive oil, extra virgin
SALAD MIX
1 Head Boston lettuce
1 1/4 Head red tip lettuce
1 Belgian endive
1/2 Head radicchio
In a pan in hot corn oil, deep-fry the wonton skins, one at a time
until crisp, about 15 seconds per side (do not allow oil to smoke).
Set aside. In a bowl, thoroughly mix the goat cheese, cream cheese,
sour cream, chives, parsley, thyme, garlic, and shallots. Season to
taste with the freshly ground pepper. Set aside. TO PREPARE THE
DRESSING: In an electric blender, place the mustard, garlic, salt,
pepper, and vinegar. With blender running, slowly add the olive oil
in a thin, steady stream until mixture is thickened to dressing
consistency. Set aside. TO PREPARE THE LETTUCE: Separate the lettuce
leaves; then tear each leaf into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl,
toss the lettuce and dressing, using just enough of dressing to
evenly coat all the pieces. Set aside. TO ASSEMBLE THE EACH SALAD:
Spread over one side of each deep-fried wonton skin some of the goat
cheese mixture. On 4 plates, place a wonton, cheese- side up. Stack
some of the lettuce pieces on the wonton. Top with a second wonton,
cheese-side down. Some of the lettuce will spread out onto the plate.
Garnish each salad with heart of palm slices and cherry/yellow
teardrop tomato halves drizzled with the remaining salad dressing.
Makes 4 salads.
