Goat cheese takes this spinach salad from plain-Jane to gourmet

We recommend slightly sweet Ruby Red grapefruit for this salad. *** Recipe: Strawberry, Goat Cheese, and Almond Spinach Salad Ingredients 1½ ounces goat cheese, crumbled ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 strip grapefruit zest plus 1½ tablespoons juice 1 shallot, minced 2 teaspoons sugar 1 bag curly-leaf spinach, stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces 6 strawberries, hulled and sliced ¼ inch thick ¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted Salt and pepper Directions 1. Place goat cheese on plate and freeze until slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat, discard zest, stir in grapefruit juice, and add spinach; cover, allowing spinach to steam until just beginning to wilt, about 30 seconds. Add strawberries, almonds, and goat cheese and toss to combine.
