I made this salad for my wife and son while our pizza was baking. One of my dreams is to own a herd of goats and make cheese! —Greg Fontenot The Woodlands, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon honey, divided
  • 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 8 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 4 cups spring mix salad greens

Directions

  1. In a shallow microwave-safe dish, combine pecans and 2 teaspoons honey; microwave, uncovered, on high until toasted, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring twice. Immediately transfer to a waxed paper-lined baking sheet to cool.
  2. For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon honey.
  3. Place flour, egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Shape cheese into 8 balls; flatten slightly. Coat cheese with flour, then dip into egg and coat with bread crumbs.
  4. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-hight heat. Fry cheese until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Divide salad greens among 4 plates; top with cheese. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with honey pecans.
