Steps

1

Prepare Salad & Dressing

Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, then divide them between two plates. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper for the dressing.

2

Grill Goat Cheese

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the goat cheese rounds in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown and slightly melted. Be careful not to burn it.

3

Assemble & Serve

Place the grilled goat cheese on top of the salad greens. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with the roughly chopped walnuts, and then pour the prepared balsamic dressing over everything. Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and creamy.

Extra Tips

If you don't have a grill pan, you can bake it in the oven: bake at 200°C for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Experiment with other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, instead of walnuts.

A few slices of fresh figs or pears also go wonderfully with it when in season.
