Instructions
Raspberry Vinaigrette
- Finely dice the garlic.
- In a salad dressing shaker, add the vinegars, olive oil, and Worcestershire Sauce. Add in the garlic, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Shake vigorously to combine.
Fried Boursin
- Halve the cheese into 2 equal sized pucks.
- Coat the Boursin with Panko, gently pressing the bread crumbs into the cheese. Return the cheese to the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. You want the cheese chilled prior to frying it, to help prevent it from melting.
- Heat the oil or bacon grease over medium-high heat and fry the chilled Boursin for 1-2 minutes per side. If the cheese starts melting out the sides remove from the heat.
Salad
- Assemble the salad by combining your greens in a bowl with the nuts, dried berries, and sliced pear.
- Top the salad with the warm fried Boursin and the raspberry vinaigrette.
