• 4 slices French bread
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• 6 ounces mixed salad leaves, including soft and bitter varieties
• Snipped fresh chives, to garnish
• For the dressing:
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make grilled goat cheese salad

• To make the dressing, rub a large salad bowl with the cut side of the garlic clove.
• Combine the mustard, vinegar, wine, salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Whisk in the oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, to form a thick vinaigrette.
• Cut the goat cheeses in half crossways using a sharp knife.
• Preheat the grill to hot.
• Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast on one side.
• Turn over and place a piece of cheese, cut side up, on each slice.
• Drizzle with oil and grill until the cheese is lightly browned.
• Add the leaves and the dressing to the salad bowl and toss to coat the leaves thoroughly.
• Divide the salad among four plates, top each with a goat cheese crouton and serve, garnished with chives.
• Here is the salad and cheese course on one plate or serve it as a quick and satisfying starter or light lunch. The fresh tangy flavour of goat cheese contrasts with the mild salad leaves.
