Salad with Warm Goat's Cheese, Walnuts, and Honey Dressing

Prep time: 15 minServes: 4

Pairs with

Warm goat's cheese, honey, and walnuts — a three-chord combo that gives an off-dry white (a Loire Chenin or a Vouvray) plenty of flavours to play with. Rosé works too if it's summer.

Ingredients

  • 4 rounds of goat's cheese (about 1cm thick, cut from a log)
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150g mixed salad leaves (rocket, frisée, baby spinach)
  • 60g walnuts, toasted
  • 1 pear, thinly sliced
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Flaky sea salt, black pepper

Method

  1. 11. Roll the goat's cheese rounds in breadcrumbs. Fry in olive oil in a small pan 1 minute per side until golden and melting at the edges.
  2. 22. Whisk the dressing together.
  3. 33. Divide salad leaves across 4 plates. Add pear slices and walnuts on top.
  4. 44. Place a warm goat's cheese round in the centre of each plate.
  5. 55. Drizzle dressing over.
