Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil high-quality
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley
2 tablespoons fresh dill
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
8 ounces fresh goat cheese
For serving: Crostini cucumber slices cherry tomatoes

Instructions

In a food processor or stick blender attachment, pulse together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, cilantro, and dill until just roughly chopped (don’t puree).
Form the goat cheese into the shape of a tree on a serving platter.
Pour the herb mixture over the top of the tree to coat. Sprinkle on the pomegranate seeds.
Serve with crostini and vegetables for dipping.

Notes

Freshly chopped herbs like dill, cilantro, and parsley add a burst of flavor and a pop of color that dried herbs just can’t match.

Refrigerating the goat cheese before shaping helps it firm up, making it easier to handle and shape into festive designs.

Serve your cheese with crackers, crostini, or fresh veggies to complement the flavors and textures beautifully.
