Rhubarb Salad with Fennel & Goat Cheese

The honey-glaze gives this nutty rhubarb salad a hint of sweet-tart pizzazz.

Herbed Goat Cheese Tartlets

For this simple recipe, use the best cheese you can buy. We prefer garlic and chive-flavored Monterey chèvre, a local goat cheese from Rawson Brook Farm in Monterey, Massachusetts.

Herbed Watermelon Salad with Fresh Goat Cheese

We love this dish for the sweet, crisp watermelon balanced with bright, fresh goat cheese, a cooling and refreshing starter on a warm day. Prepare the ingredients in advance; then toss the watermelon with dressing just before serving.

Herb & Lemon Goat Cheese Spread

This tasty herb and lemon goat cheese spread can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature before serving with crackers.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Goat Cheese

A drizzle of nutty browned butter and sage in this creamy butternut squash soup gives a wink to the Italian classic ravioli di zucca e salvia.

Goat’s-Milk Cheese Crostini with Honey

This is a great recipe for your repertoire. Sweeten the cheese with honey as we do here, or top it with minced fresh herbs, pieces of dried fruit (such as figs, apricots, or cranberries), or roasted red peppers instead.

Citrusy Beet and Greens Salad with Crispy Goat Cheese

This easy roasted beet salad with crispy goat cheese uses just a small number of ingredients to produce a delicious and filling meal. We combine greens and mint leaves in a citrusy dressing and top them with roasted beets and crisp, Panko-crusted goat cheese rounds. Thrifty Yankees will love it because it makes excellent use of beets, booth the root and the leaves. Do you have any favorite goat cheese recipes?
