Spring Mix Salad with Zesty Goat Cheese Rounds
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Everybody should have a few signature recipes, something they’re known for – that family and friends look forward to. Here’s a tip to make your own culinary statement. Use the Dole Salad guide to create your specialty of the house. Each package has taste and texture ratings from mild to bold and tender to crunchy. There’s also suggestions for what pairs well with each salad blend, which makes it easy for you to select tried and true add-ins that will perfectly compliment your creation. Your masterpiece will reflect you to a T. Using the guide and pairing suggestions I was inspired to create a Spring Mix Salad with Zesty Goat Cheese Rounds. You can find it, and more Dole Salad inspiration, at Dole.com.
Directions
Combine sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary and pepper on small plate. Gently roll and press cheese into mixture to coat cheese. Carefully slice into 6 to 8 rounds.

Balsamic Vinaigrette: Whisk together 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel and 2 minced garlic cloves. Makes 1 cup.
