Preparation
Chef’s notes
Make it dairy free/vegan:
You could omit the goat cheese altogether, or substitute a few dollops of vegan sour cream. For a vegan salad, use maple syrup instead of honey, if using at all.
Balsamic vinegar note:
For a beautiful drizzle, use high-quality, thick balsamic vinegar or store-bought balsamic glaze/reduction. You can use regular runny balsamic for less beautiful results, or make your own balsamic reduction.
