goat Cheese, Sun-dried Tomato & Praline Salad

 

1 head butter lettuce

1 pkg goat cheese

16-20 dried tomatoes

½ cup pralines

Vinaigrette of your choice

 

Wash and tear lettuce into bite size pieces and arrange on 4 plates. Cover tomatoes with boiling water and let stand for 2-3 minutes. Discard liquid, chop and distribute tomatoes among plates.

Slice and crumble goat cheese and distribute. Top with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with pralines and serve.

 

Pralines

½ cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup water

½ cup Flanigan Farms Pecan Pieces or Flanigan Farms  Chopped Walnuts

Coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray or aluminum foil.  In a heavy sauce pan, combine sugar and water.  Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts.  Increase heat to medium high and cook, without stirring, until syrup turns medium amber, 3 to 5 minutes.  Immediately remove from heat and stir in pecans or  walnuts.  Pour onto prepared baking sheet in a thin layer.  Let stand until praline is cool and brittle.  Break praline into small pieces or place in a food processor and pulse until coarsely crushed or ground. The praline will keep, tightly covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
