Pesto Goat Cheese Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Pesto Aioli

    In a food processor, combine fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Mix in Greek yogurt to create a creamy aioli.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon Onion Jam

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the cooked bacon, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar, stirring until the mixture is thick and caramelized. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, make a bed of fresh greens. Drizzle the pesto aioli over the greens. Top with the bacon onion jam. Crumble goat cheese on top and serve immediately.
