Pear and Goat Cheese Sandwich with Toasted Walnuts

This is inspired by my favorite vegetarian sandwich at Chez Lulu, a cafe and bakery in Birmingham, Alabama. I love the combo of thinly sliced sweet pear with pungent goat cheese, lightly dressed greens and toasted nuts. I used a plain version of our Knead-less Olive-Rosemary Bread, but any type of whole grain bread will do the trick.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup mixed salad greens
  • 1 ounce goat cheese
  • 2 slices whole grain bread, about 1-1/2 ounce each
  • 1 slice onion, separated into rings
  • 5 thin slices pear
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  • Whisk together first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Add salad greens, tossing to coat. Spread cheese on 1 slice of bread. Top with greens, onion, pear, walnuts and remaining slice of bread.
