Peach Goat Cheese Salad
I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time trying to figure out what to put in salads. I know the opportunities are endless, but that’s part of my problem- there’s just so many choices!
I ran into this problem a couple weeks ago. I knew I wanted to have a salad for lunch, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted in it. Thankfully, my choice was made up for me when I realized I needed to eat certain items in the fridge before they went bad. I had the smallest nub of Goat Cheese left, and decided to throw it in there. and man… it did not disappoint. I don’t know why I didn’t do think to throw Goat cheese in salads earlier!
And so, this salad started to form. Only these are made up with the ingredients I * wish * had been in that original, clean-out-the-fridge salad. Goat cheese for creaminess and tang, Poppy seed dressing and peach slices for sweetness, Bacon bits for that smokey flavor… yum!
If you end up making this, I’d love to hear! you can comment below, and don’t forget to follow me on Pinterest or Instagram under my name: @theflouredcountertop. Thanks for stopping by!
