Don’t you just LOVE summer? Satisfy your summer taste buds by adding a tropical twist to creamy goat cheese. Simply pack up these delectable picnic goodies and locate the perfect scenery to set the mood. Heading to an outdoor concert or movie? Creating a seaside spread or enjoying an afternoon on your boat? Packing up individual portions allows each person to dig in whenever they like, however they like to do it.
To assemble these tropical beauties, start with a thick slice of {French} Bucherondin, {Spanish} Cana de Cabra , or any log style soft-ripened goat cheese of your choosing. Sprinkle with chopped, dried papaya, pineapple and apricots. Add chopped walnuts and drizzle generously with honey. Don’t forget to toast the walnuts for a nuttier flavor and extra crunch. I was able to scoop small amounts of dried fruits from the bulk bins at the market, and I got these great wooden flats from the cheese counter at Whole Foods. Throw in a fresh crusty baguette…. and all is right in the world.
