A great way to take advantage of the gorgeous berries in the markets right now.
I used blueberries and sliced strawberries in this one, but any mix of berries works. Serve it while the goat cheese is still a little warm. This is my very favorite salad! This recipe makes a LOT of salad, so if you aren’t feeding a crowd, cut it in half.

This sounds so wonderful since I am a BIG fan of goat cheese and almonds and fruit.
Yum…..except I’d probably eat the goat cheese and berries and skip the lettuce!
Have a great Fourth!
It’s past midnight — and now I am hungry! 🙂
Looks delish! Great recipe ~ thanks,

That sure looks good!
We don’t usually put blueberries in savouries here but I tried my first savoury blueberry dish (a beef and blueberry soup) and it was delicious! So I must give this a go 😀
Wow, unusual mix of ingredients. I think am going to try to leave off the bread crumbs (but not the cheese!) Thanks for sharing and a happy 4th!
Y is for Yum, E for excitement, and S for serving soon. YES.
I adore goat cheese but have never thought of frying it. This is a must try–most likely today. Thank you.
Never had fried goat cheese but sounds yummy!
10 minutes ago, I was standing in the kitchen trying to decide on a salad to serve our guests on Friday night. NOW I KNOW!!!!!

I have my eye on some roadside wild raspberries…they should be ready soon…your recipe looks great♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/gathered-flotsam/
Yes, this dish is truly exquisite, thank you very much!
I have fried goat cheese before and I’m here to say it’s delicious that way. Love this version with berries. Pinned. And have a great holiday weekend RMW.

Oh my how delightful and GOOD for us too!
sounds very interesting. I would never have thought of adding goat’s cheese to fruit. Hmmm… {:-D
This sounds so delicious!
I’ve never heard of coconut flavored almonds before, though.
This lover of goat cheese will definitely be trying that one!
=)
Wow! How delicious is this? I’m going to try it. Never have fried goat cheese but I like it in salads. xo Jenny
Oh boy. Oh boy!
I think I have all these ingredients in my fridge right now.
Just came back from Idaho-Northern California and the berries at the farm stands were incredible!
I guess I’ll have to settle for organic ones from Trader Joes, though.
We have such similar tastes! You always make me drool.
In a good way!
Thanks for sharing this GREAT recipe.
