Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the bread slices and toast them in the skillet until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and cut into cubes.

  2. 2

    Char the Cheese

    Slice the Hornbacher cheese into thick slices. In the same skillet, place the cheese slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and slightly melted. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and fresh herbs. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the greens and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Croutons and Cheese

    Top the salad with the charred Hornbacher cheese and smoked croutons. Serve immediately.
