During the broadcast of Friday’s Lisa Wexler Show, I had the pleasure of meeting Frank, from family-owned Goats & Gourmets, a new vendor at the Ridge Hill Farmer’s Market. I was immediately impressed by the super fresh goat cheese created at the farmstead, especially with some of the flavor combinations they offer. I picked up a small tub of their creamy apricot and honey goat cheese (a perfect spread for your favorite cracker) and the Greek feta, a combination of fresh feta goat cheese, Greek dressing, green olives and sweet onion. The latter (which turned out to be my favorite) is in the inspiration behind the simple salad I served last night for dinner. To make it easy, you can certainly pick up the Goats & Gourmet version at Ridge Hill this Friday. Or, you can certainly mimic their version on your own.
