  • 4

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped, toasted sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 1/2 qts. lightly packed mixed baby greens (5 to 6 oz.)
  • 2 cups pitted cherries, halved

Preparation

Step 1

Whirl cream cheese and feta in a food processor until smooth. Using a 1-in. ice cream scoop or a teaspoon, scoop balls of cheese mixture onto a plate. Chill 15 minutes. Pour almonds into a shallow bowl. Roll cheese balls in almonds to coat and set on a clean plate. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Whisk vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to combine. Add greens and cherries and toss to coat. Arrange salad on plates and scatter cheese balls on top.
