This combination of different flavors is fantastic.
I got the idea a couple of weeks ago when I was in town and bought a smoothie and sandwich for lunch. It was a sandwich with chevre, strawberries and some sauce that tasted like cinnamon. A few days later I tried making a salad inspired by the sandwich. It turned out really nice. The combination between soft cheese, crisp walnuts, sweet strawberries and cinnamon apples is fantastic.
Recipe, 2 servings
Green salad of your choice
1 Avocado
1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries
A few slices of chevre (goats cheese)
1 apple
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Agave syrup
Flake salt & black pepper
Begin by chopping the green salad coarsely and put it on a nice plate.
Chop the apple in really tiny pieces.
Put the apple in a separate bowl and add the cinnamon. Use your hands or a spoon to stir.
Spread the apples over the green salad.
Cut the avocado in half. Discard the pit and cut thin slices of the avocado. Spread them like a fan over the apples.
Cut each strawberry in half and spread them over the apples.
Put the pieces of chevre on top of the strawberries and then spread the walnut over them.
Pour some agave syrup over and sprinkle with flake salt and black pepper.
Voila!
