A delightful salad featuring fresh greens, herbs, and crispy cheese bites, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Lining the baking sheet with foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Place the ranch dressing in one shallow bowl and mix the panko bread crumbs with garlic powder in another.
Using separate bowls for wet and dry ingredients ensures even coating.
Cut the cheese into bite-sized cubes, dip each cube into the dressing, and then coat it with the bread crumb mixture.
Ensure each cheese cube is fully coated for maximum crispiness.
Arrange the coated cheese cubes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 3-4 minutes until golden and soft.
Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid overbaking.
Arrange the mixed salad greens, fresh herbs, and cherry tomatoes on individual plates.
Use a variety of greens for a more colorful and flavorful salad.
Top each salad with the baked cheese bites and drizzle with additional dressing if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese bites while they're warm.
