How to make it
If there’s a better combination than Goat’s cheese, beetroot and walnut we’re yet to find it. Golden Cross is a bit sweeter than other goat’s cheeses so it works particularly well with the savoury walnuts. Serve this Goat’s cheese salad with French bread for a lovely light lunch.
- Cut the goat’s cheese log into 1 inch slabs.
- Optional: Place the rounds onto a baking sheet and place under a grill, medium temperature, for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has begun to brown.
- Also delicious just as it is!
- Tear the salad leaves into bite-sizes pieces and wash. If using a bagged salad, open and wash as necessary.
- Mix the red wine vinegar, olive oil and sugar vigorously.
- Cut the beetroot into bite-sized pieces.
- Roughly chop the walnuts.
- Arrange the salad, beetroot and walnuts on places. place two rounds of Golden Cross on each.
- Serve the goat’s cheese salad with some crusty French bread for a lovely light lunch.
