A summer salad

Okay so this one is not so much a recipe but an idea. This is a popular one in our house during the summer but it is hardly ever the same twice. The only ingredients that I always add are baked goat cheese, spinach, some kind of nut and different fruits. I usually always top it with shrimp but scallops are also tasty and chicken would go great as well!

Okay so start with spinach, we like spinach because of all of the nutrients but it also pairs perfectly with the goat cheese.

Then put on whatever fruit you please. Recently I used raspberries, strawberries, grapes, avocado and pomegranate seeds. I have also used mango and pineapple but didn't have any. Really any sweet fruit would work!

Then add some sort of nut. I usually use sliced almonds and pine nuts.

lastly take some goat cheese and roll it in your hand and then gently flatten... kind of like you would do with a small cookie. brush some olive oil on each side and then coat with bread crumbs place them on foil on a cookie sheet and broil them for about 5 minutes.
