The creamy, tangy goat cheese is complemented by rich olive oil, fresh herbs, and crunchy walnuts, creating a delicious and easy dip. No mixing required—just slice, assemble, and devour!
Ingredients:
8 oz goat cheese (sliced into rounds or discs)
2 tablespoons quality olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
1/4 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
Instructions:
Slice the Goat Cheese: Slice the goat cheese into rounds or discs (about 1/4 inch thick) and arrange them on a serving platter or plate.
Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the quality olive oil generously over the sliced goat cheese. The olive oil will add richness and enhance the natural flavors of the goat cheese.
Top with Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and basil evenly over the sliced goat cheese. The herbs bring a fresh, aromatic punch that balances the creamy cheese.
Add Walnuts: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the cheese and herbs. The walnuts add a nice crunch and a slightly nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy goat cheese.
Serve: Serve immediately with a side of sliced bread, water crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping. This easy, flavorful dip is ready in just a few minutes!
Tips and Variations:
Extra Olive Oil: For extra richness, drizzle a little more olive oil over the top just before serving.
Toast the Walnuts: If you prefer a deeper flavor, lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a couple of minutes before sprinkling them over the cheese.
Add a Sweet Touch: For a bit of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey over the top for a sweet and savory combination.
