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.

Fregola Salad with White Beans and Arugula

Fregola is an Italian rolled pasta similar to Israeli couscous, and it’s wonderfully toothsome in this salad. If you can’t find fregola (or wanted to go gluten free), millet would be a great substitute. Top with a few chunks of good quality tuna packed in olive oil and you’ve got a nice, hearty, nourishing meal.
