  • 1 pint strawberries to yield about 1 cup chopped berries

  • non-stick spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix dressing ingredients. Set aside.
  2. Prep the salaa ingredients. Roll up 6 basil leaves, then slice into julienned strips. Repeat with the remaining 6 leaves. Chop the strawberries. Set aside.
  3. Slice the bread cheese on a diagonal. Spray a hot frying pan with non-stick spray, then heat the cheese slices briefly on each side until warm and softened.
  4. To assemble, divide the cheese slices between four small plates. Spoon out about 1/4 cup of strawberries, then top with crumbled goat cheese and julienned basil. Drizzle with a little dressing. Work quickly so cheese stays soft and warm.
  5. Serve immediately.
