This is a fantastic summer side dish. You can change the herbs to any mixture you like. I used what needed to be pruned in my garden, a mixture of parsley, basil and cilantro. Whichever herbs you do choose, I strongly recommend using fresh herbs. Dried wouldn’t be the same, the fresh herbs are so refreshing tasting! You can also swap out the goat cheese for mozzarella ciligiene. I like the creaminess of the goat cheese.
