We didn't want a huge dinner that night, so before we left for Avignon, stopped at the local
boulangerie where I scored myself one of these luscious Goat Cheese Tarts. It was heaven in a pastry crust. The tart consisted of red and yellow tomatoes, fresh basil, and that creamy chunk of my favorite cheese. After seeing it, I nearly didn't make it to Avignon!
To keep it light, we served it with several salads: lettuce,
Alison's tomato salad, and two French classics:
Carottes Râpées (shredded carrots dressed in a light vinaigrette) and
Celeri Remoulade (shredded celery root in a mayonnaise sauce). Now, I adore celeriac and have been to France several times, but this was a first for me. It was one of my favorite foodie discoveries (along with
Perrier Menthe and
Macarons) and I will definitely be adding it to my staple recipe collection, once I have mastered it. In the upcoming weeks, I'm going to give it my all to see if I can recreate the taste, and once I do - will be sharing it with you.
This was all washed down with a lovely bottle of chilled
Pouilly-Fumé. Pouilly Fumé is a fantastic budget friendly alternative to the pricier
Sancerre.
