Preparation

Salad

Place the small goat cheese log in the freezer. Arrange the hand-torn kale and romaine on a large round platter with a small bowl in the middle for the strawberry vinaigrette. Garnish the greens with shredded cabbage, sliced radish, toasted pecans, freeze-dried strawberries and squash noodles. Use a zester to carefully grate the frozen goat cheese over the salad, like snow. Add the Strawberry Dressing to the small bowl in the center of the salad. Serve cold.

Strawberry Dressing

In a blender or food processor, add fresh or frozen strawberries, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and chopped herbs. Blend ingredients until smooth while slowly adding the olive oil to emulsify. Season with salt and fresh pepper. Keep cold in an airtight glass container until use.
