Agave Goat Cheese Dressing

I am a huge goat cheese lover!  You can add goat cheese to almost anything and it would elevate it to a whole new level, in my opinion.  This recipe was inspired by Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes at SkinnyTaste.com.  I gave it the the old Whipper once-over and fell in LOVE!  

Did you know that goat cheese is 30% lower in fat and calories than most cow’s milk cheese?

In a small blender, combine the goat cheese, agave, extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar and lemon.  Season with fresh cracked black pepper and salt.  Mix until creamy.
