Pear, cranberry and goat cheese salad recipe

I published a delicious goat cheese salad two years ago on this blog. However I though I could give it another try as this is my favourite salad.

What I want to say is … goat cheese melted on a piece of bread is my favourite salad :). I love to mix goat cheese with bacon; but I also love the taste of goat cheese mixed with dried cranberry, fig and fresh pear.

The sweetness of the fruits soften the strong taste of goat cheese. A mix of balsamic, virgen olive oil and honey complete this delicious salad. 

I made myself another one tonight. I added some cranberries and little strawberries today in a large green salad with onion germs. Almost summer, I could eat salads everyday! But of course always with melted goat cheese on top!

Hope you enjoy this salad too !
