Winter Salad with Warm Goat Cheese

Ingredients

  • 120 g goat cheese rounds
  • 160 g plum
  • ½ sprig rosemary
  • ½ sprig thyme
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 50 g pine nuts
  • 50 ml orange juice
  • 100 ml white balsamic vinegar
  • 150 ml olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 60 g lamb’s lettuce
  • 40 g arugula

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Halve goat cheese rounds. Cut plum into slices and pick herb leaves.
  2. Transfer goat cheese halves to an oven-safe pan. Top with plum and herb leaves.
  3. Drizzle with half of the honey. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for approx. 5 – 7 min. until cheese is melted.
  4. In the meantime, toast pine nuts in a grease-free frying pan on low-medium heat until golden. In a canning jar, add orange juice, white vinegar, olive oil and remaining honey. Season with salt and pepper and shake well to combine.
  5. In a large bowl, combine salad with dressing, as desired. Mix well. Refrigerate remaining dressing for future use. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and transfer to a plate. Top each portion with melted goat cheese and more salad.

Enjoy with a glass of wine.
