I too only had a chance to do the warm goat cheese which was just like the restaurants as I could not find champagne vinegar any where! I just ordered it on line and it still appeared to be limited but will try the dressing when I get the vinegar. Dean & Deluca sell it for $12.
I agree that you should chill the coated goat cheese for at least an hour as it is easier to work with. I also added some candied pecans to the salad which added a nice taste. I am looking forward to making the dressing and hope it is close to Girard's Champagne dressing! Does anyone know the purpose of the egg yolk or has tried the recipe without it? I know it will last longer in the frig if left out and would be a little more watery but I was just curious! Thanks Ina, another great recipe !

Tasty recipe! I double dipped my goat cheese in the egg whites and bread crumbs and placed in the fridge for a good 30 minutes before frying. I also added pomegranate seeds to the salad for a bit of sweetness and crunch! Yummy!

I've made this for many dinner parties and it is always a star, and for me it is so easy and quick that you are with your guests and not in the kitchen to much.

Great salad and so easy. I've had this type of salad in restaurants and didn't realize it would be so easy to make at home. I added fresh raspberries and toasted almonds. Next time I'll try it with fresh strawberries or dried cranberries.

I didn't actually make the dressing, so this review is for the goat cheese only. The instructions were excellent and the outcome was perfect. This is easy and delicious. If you serve this to friends, they will be impressed, but you may be setting yourself up for high expectations, so make sure they know how simple it really is. :

This salad as a whole is quite good, but my favorite part is the dressing, which I make all the time now for a variety of salads. It's good as is, but I like to blend some fresh herbs in with it. My favorite variation of the dressing is to use white wine vinegar and add chives - soooo good.

Thought this was delicious and pretty easy to make. I would definitely use less dressing per serving next time as I thought it was a little strong (but tasty. I might also add some apples or pears slices and nuts to add a little crunch (I have had it with these extras on restaurant versions.

I made it simpler. Add cracked salt/pepper to olive oil (not extra virgin mix and lightly pour on baby spinach. Dip sliced goat cheese in eggs and then on Panko bread crumbs, fry one minute on each side and place on the salad. I found Ina's vinergret too strong of a taste and throws the goat cheese off. Try it and let me know which version you prefer. ;

What an east yet impressive recipe!! The goat cheese does come out better the longer it chills! And the vinaigrette is my new favorite dressing. I added in a few scallions for extra flavor. One of my favorite lunch meals for sure!
