Strawberry and Chevre (Goat Cheese) Salad
I think of this salad every spring in strawberry season! Adapted from the Best of Bridge Series. As with most salads, plate individually for an exact carb count. Otherwise the CHO will depend on the amount of which salad ingredients you take on your plate. I use a really good syrupy Balsamic Vinegar for this recipe.
If using brown sugar, double the amount and adjust the Carbs.
