A Unique Pairing: Herb-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad

Traminette’s herbal and floral notes shine when paired with the earthy, tangy flavors of goat cheese and fresh herbs. An Herb-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad with a simple lemon vinaigrette creates the perfect complement to this aromatic white wine.

Herb-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad Recipe

Ingredients

For the goat cheese:

1 log (8 oz) goat cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

For the salad:

6 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and baby kale work well)

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

For the vinaigrette:

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Roll the goat cheese log in the chopped herbs, pressing gently to coat evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Assemble the salad by layering the mixed greens, almonds, cranberries, and red onion in a large bowl.

Slice the herb-crusted goat cheese into rounds and place on top of the salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving.

Why This Pairing Works

The fresh herbs and creamy goat cheese amplify the herbal and floral qualities of Traminette, creating a flavor match that feels sophisticated yet approachable. The wine’s dry profile balances the salad’s tangy vinaigrette and sweetness from the cranberries.
