Cranberry Goat Cheese Spread

• 1/2 pound of your favorite goat cheese (Vermont Butter and Cheese Company log does well)

• 1/2 (generous) cup of dried (sweetened) cranberries

• 2 Tablespoons Three Acre Kitchen Balsamic Vinaigrette (formerly Nancy's)

Pulse the dried cranberries in a food processor until they are about 1/2 their original size. Add goat cheese and vinaigrette and blend. Serve with Kashi TLC's or your favorite cracker.

Serves 4-6 as an appetizer.

Note: These same ingredients can be the start of a delicious salad. We like to use Romaine as it can stand up to the dried cranberries. To serve six: Wash and break two heads of romaine into pieces. Sprinkle with about 3/4 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup chopped cashews or pecans and 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese. Dress sparingly with balsamic vinaigrette and enjoy!
