When it comes to simple, healthy meals, nothing beats a fresh, crunchy, vibrant salad kit. Our favorites are from Taylor Farms (we seriously eat these on rotation)! And they come together in minutes.
Their new Strawberry Rosé Chopped Kit offers a lightened up kale and radicchio base with tangy strawberry infused cranberries, crunchy almonds, and sweet rosé berry vinaigrette. Light, healthy, and quick to throw together on a busy week day for lunch (as we often do).
We serve the salad with crispy phyllo wrapped goat cheese — because everyone loves a goat cheese salad! — and a slice of whole wheat sourdough. Your working lunch never looked so good!
If you’re reading this during late spring or summer and can get your hands on some squash blossoms, try frying them up to use in this salad instead of the phyllo-wrapped goat cheese!
Ingredients For Goat Cheese Salad
This salad could not be simpler to make. We’re topping an already flavorful chopped salad kit with phyllo wrapped goat cheese.
- 1 (12 oz bag) Strawberry Rosé Chopped Kit: the base of the salad, which is made up of shredded green leaf, kale, radicchio, strawberry infused cranberries, sliced almonds, and rosé flavored berry vinaigrette.
- Goat cheese
- Phyllo dough
- Melted butter
- Flaky sea salt
- Black pepper
How To Make Phyllo Wrapped Goat Cheese
Begin by cutting an 8 oz goat cheese log into 1 oz medallions.
Next, stack two sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other. Cut the phyllo into rectangles that are roughly 6″x8″.
Place goat cheese medallion in the bottom ⅓ of the phyllo, then gently roll the dough around it, tucking the sides under at the end. You’ll form a little goat cheese packet.
Transfer phyllo wrapped goat cheese to a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush each with some melted butter, then bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden brown all over.
Depending on your hunger level, serve 1 or 2 goat cheese per salad.
Phyllo wrapped goat cheese can be served over the salad kit immediately.
How To Reheat Phyllo
While you can definitely pop the phyllo wrapped goat cheese in the microwave, it will lose its crunch. Instead, we recommend placing the goat cheese packets back into a preheated oven or toaster oven to reheat at 325-350F for ~10 minutes.
The goat cheese will warm and soften again, while the phyllo crisps up (though nothing is as good as serving these fresh!).
We typically eat these salads the day we make them, so there are rarely any leftovers.
This phyllo wrapped goat cheese salad is quick, healthy, and so easy to pull together for a quick lunch. And food that we can feel good about eating is food that we will serve over and over again.
