More than a few of you requested the recipe and I promised I’d post it as soon as it was published.
Though I wasn’t able to say too much at the time, now that the article and recipe may be found in Publix GreenWise Market magazine, I have permission to share it with you guys!
I was told to create a recipe that was quintessentially Florida.
When I set out to create a healthy recipe that captured the essence of Florida food in one dish, I knew a produce-packed salad would properly highlight Florida citrus and the state’s succulent strawberries. Rather than simply top a salad with fresh fruit, I decided to weave the Florida citrus flavor throughout the dish and incorporated freshly squeeze orange juice into a wholesome homemade creamy goat cheese dressing.
I hope you enjoy it!
