Ingredients:

Serving

a 7-inch pita pocket , halved crosswise and separated to form 4 semicircles
2 1/2 oz (about 1/3 cup) soft milk goat cheese such as montrachet
1/4 cup walnuts, minced
1 tbsp white-wine vinegar
2 tsp dijon-style mustard
6 tbsp olive oil ( preferably extra-virgin)
3/4 lb spinach (about 1 bunch), coarse stems discarded and the leaveswashed well and spun dry
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered

Directions:

Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the rough sides of the pita evenly with the goat cheese, season them with salt and pepper, and sprinkle the walnuts evenly over the cheese, pressing them in gently. Cut the pita into 1-inch pieces and bake the croutons, on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden.
In a large salad bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the spinach, the tomatoes, and the croutons, and toss the salad well.
