Pistachio Crusted Goat Cheese Berry Salad

Name: Pistachio Crusted Goat Cheese Berry Salad
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 8 c. mixed greens; 1 c. balsamic vinaigrette; 4 oz. honey goat cheese; 1/3 c. shelled pistachios (finely chopped); 1 quart strawberries (sliced); 1 c. raspberries or blueberries; 1 avocado (sliced); 1/2 c. thinly sliced red onion

I am obsessed with summer berries lately, from Lemon Berry Crisp to this Pistachio Crusted Goat Cheese Berry Salad, there are so many sweet and savory ways to enjoy the perfectly sweet berries this time of year. My favorite honey goat cheese is rolled in chopped salted pistachios and piled on top of mixed greens along with strawberries, raspberries and creamy avocado. I added some thinly sliced red onion for a little bit of bite and finished it off with balsamic vinaigrette. I am just drooling looking back at these photos it was so good!

While this salad doesn’t have any meat, it is full of healthy fats from the avocado and pistachios. It is one of the most filling vegetarian salads you will eat! You can certainly add in some chicken or steak if you prefer your dinner salads to have meat, but it’s definitely not a must.

If you are in a hurry and not worried about making your salad look beautiful with the perfectly crusted goat cheese, by all means, you can just toss in some crumbled goat cheese and pistachios and you will get the same flavors. Don’t skip the honey goat cheese though. It is so much better than regular goat cheese and adds such a great flavor!
