Ingredients

salad:

  • 2 handfuls salad mix
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 medium apple or orange/pear
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • small handful walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 2 slices bread or 6 slices baguette
  • 3.5 oz goat cheese 100g

orange honey dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • zest from ½ orange optional
  • 1 heaped teaspoon honey
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F / Gas Mark 6. Cut the cheese into slices, arrange the cheese slices over slices of bread or baguette, put in the oven and bake for a few minutes until the cheese is golden and melted. Cut the toasts into smaller pieces, if you wish.
  • Wash the lettuce and spin dry in a salad spinner, season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the celery stalks into slices.
  • Core the apple and cut into slices, mix with a tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Toast the walnuts and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan until lightly browned and fragrant, transfer on a plate (they can easily burn).
  • Pour the dressing ingredients into a small jar, close the lid and shake vigorously until a thick sauce is created.
  • Arrange the lettuce onto plates, top with cheese toasts, celery and apple slices, sprinkle with nuts and pour over the dressing.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ingredient substitutions:
    • instead of an apple, you can add an orange or a pear
    • instead of walnuts, you can add pecans
    • use melting goat cheese with rind, not soft, spreadable goat cheese
    • use an apple that is a little sour (my preference) or a green apple, rather than a sweet apple variety
  • How to make it ahead: You can prepare all the ingredients and store them separately (wash and spin dry the salad - store it in a tightly closed container, make the sauce, toast the nuts, and make the cheese toasts). Peel and chop the apples and combine all the ingredients just before serving!
  • Calories = 1 serving (1/2 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
