5 cups
arugula leaves

1.5 tablespoons
pomegranate syrup

1/8 cup
orange muscat champagne vinegar (I used "traders Joe")
-
1/8 cup
extra virgin olive oil (good quality)
-
1/3 teaspoon
salt
-
Pinch
ground black pepper
Directions
-
add all the ingredients into a jar with a lead. shake well till combined.
-
toast the bread just for a 1-1.5min, take the garlic clove and rub it into the toasted bead. spread butter and goat cheese between each couple of bread slices, and with a 1" round cookie cutter cut small round bites from each sandwich. preheat a pan, add few drops of olive oil or butter, and toast the goat cheese bites until it gets crispy.
-
combine the dish: just before serving the salad, pour the dressing over the salad and gently mix. put in a serving plate, add 4-5 crunchy goat cheese toast to each serving plate, sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds on top, sprinkle Parmesan cheese flakes and cilantro leaves. Bon apetit!
-
If you want to prepare in advance, keep the salad green mix separately from the watermelon cubes, refrigerated. mix the dressing ingredients in a jar, combine just before serving otherwise the vegetables will get soggy and will loose their freshness.
