Arugula And Goat Cheese Salad With Vanilla Bean Oil

  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 vanilla beans, split and scraped
  • 4 cups light olive oil
  • 1 log goat cheese, about 10 ounces
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 pound arugula leaves, washed and spun-dry
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, heat vanilla beans and olive oil very slowly until hot and vanilla is aromatic. Cool, strain, and store refrigerated.
  • Using either dental floss or a knife dipped in warm water, divide goat cheese log into 8 medallions. Carefully roll in chopped pecans to coat, pressing nuts into cheese so that they adhere. Set aside until ready to assemble the salads.
  • In a large bowl toss arugula with 3 ounces of the vanilla bean oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish each serving with one pecan-crusted goat cheese medallion.
