How to make it
This Goats’ Cheese salad uses Alex James Goats’ cheese which is particularly fresh and delicate. It has a natural acidity and an almost mousse-like texture. We love it on a french stick with a simple salad.
- In a small bowl mix olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, a drizzle of honey, and salt and pepper
- Prepare the salad:
- Cut tomatoes into quarters
- Slice avocado
- Use a mix of crunchy radicchio, delicate lambs lettuce and crisp frisée
- Preheat grill to medium
- Cut the french stick into 1 inch thick slices
- Lightly toast under the grill for a few minutes each side
- Cut the Alex James Goats’ cheese into 25g rounds, keeping the rind on
- Remove the bread and place the goats cheese slices on the slices
- place back under the grill for another 2 minutes
- Pull the goats cheese salad together and dress with the vinaigrette dressing
- Place the bread on the salad and finish with a drizzle of the vinaigrette
