Summer of Easy Gourmet Entertaining with Chavrie Goat Cheese

I love goat cheese.  Its creamy texture and tangy mouth-feel is the perfect complement for a variety of appetizers, grilled meats, salads and desserts.  Goat cheese pairs perfectly with beets, raspberries and strawberries.  In fact, this has been one of my favorite ways to enjoy Chavrie® goat cheese this summer (I am in my infancy of enjoying beets, and raw beets with balsamic vinegar and goat cheese are my limitation at the moment). 😀

And yes, Chavrie Fresh Goat Cheese is gluten-free!

Strawberry Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette:

Shredded Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Fresh Raspberry Vinaigrette:

I did a twist of the shredded beet salad with raspberry vinaigrette and turned it into a gluten-free sandwich wrap with Boar’s Head Low Sodium Turkey meat:

I recently tried a recipe I found on the Chavrie website for Goat Cheese Hummus (I made my own Hummus and subbed the cilantro for fresh rosemary, YUM!) and served with grilled gluten-free pita bread (I love this pita bread, you can read my review of it here):

So why am I telling you all of this?  Well, August just so happens to be National Goat Cheese Month and to celebrate, I have an exciting giveaway for one lucky reader!
