Watermelon & Goat Cheese Salad

The word "salad" sometimes leaves the wrong impression. It's not just a bowl of greens and a blob of dressing. It's oh, so much more. Watermelon is the featured ingredient in this version.  A light drizzle of a sherry vinegar and olive oil dressing is all you need. Let the fresh herbs, olives, goat cheese and a kick of jalapeños do the rest.

About Imani Greer

Chef Greer's love of cooking began when he was just 7 years old.  Cooking for his brothers on Saturday morning while they were watching cartoons, he would lay out a brunch buffet for the family. That passion was continually reinforced by his mother and grandmother as he continued to grow. Now working at Tastings Wine Bar & Bistro he loves working with fresh local ingredients and highlighting the fresh wonderful natural flavors from the farm to the table.
