Questions

What oven temperature does Warm Goat Cheese Salad need?

For Warm Goat Cheese Salad, the oven is set to 400 F (about 205 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 8 minutes, in step 4.

What should Warm Goat Cheese Salad look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 4: cook until cheese is warmed and softened.

What can I use instead of Dijon mustard in Warm Goat Cheese Salad?

The entry for Warm Goat Cheese Salad calls for 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. In its place: Whole-grain or yellow mustard with a few drops of white wine vinegar. Yellow is milder, so use a little more.

Can I make Warm Goat Cheese Salad dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz goat cheese log, sliced) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

Is Warm Goat Cheese Salad vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 8 oz goat cheese log, sliced and 1 tsp honey. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan salad collection.
