Pacific Northwest Walnut Crusted Goat Cheese Wheels Over Dressed Greens

1 tsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. chopped chives
4 tsp. finely chopped walnuts
1 Tbsp. bread crumbs
1 log (4 oz) fresh goat cheese, cut into 4 round slices
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. walnut oil
1 minced shallot
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups mixed greens
8 grape tomatoes, halved

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together the parsley, chives, walnuts, and bread crumbs in a bowl. 

Lay the 4 goat cheese wheels out on a baking sheet. Spread the mixture out on top of each piece, pressing gently, then carefully turn over and cover the other side of the goat cheese with the mixture. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 or 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In a large bowl, put the vinegar, oils, shallot, and salt and pepper, and whisk vigorously to combine well. Add the mixed greens to the bowl and toss until greens are coated.

Distribute the dressed mixed greens evenly between 4 salad plates, then top each with one baked goat cheese wheel, and top that with even amounts of halved grape tomatoes. Drizzle lightly with a little olive oil or walnut oil if desired.

Serve immediately.
