lovely way to start an elegant meal. It works as an accompaniment to a hearty main course
soup. Prepare right before serving so the greens don’t wilt. Ingredients1 cup (75g) arugula, thinly sliced 1 cup (75g) escarole, thinly sliced 1 cup (75g) endive, thinly sliced 2 Tbsp (30mL) extra virgin olive oil 1 Tbsp (15mL) balsamic vinegar Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*) 4 slices Italian bread, preferably a coarse, country style bread,
cut in thick slices 3 ounces (85g) Montrachet cheese*, (or any good quality goat
cheese) DirectionsPlace the greens and the oil and vinegar in a small bowl and toss well.
Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the goat cheese can be very salty. Toast bread by grilling on the stovetop or under the broiler. Spread goat cheese evenly over the toasts. Place a mound of the dressed
greens on top of the cheese. The amount of greens may vary, depending on the size of the
bread. It’s okay to mound the greens. Serve immediately. * Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized
salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn. The egg
protein lysozyme is an unlabeled additive in some cheeses. People allergic to eggs should
eliminate any cheese in this recipe. Nutrition Facts
