Ingredients

Serves 4

Salad

• 1 bunch watercress (about 150g)
• 150g mixed winter leaves (e.g. winter spinach, young kale, baby chard, beetroot leaves)
• 1 small goats' cheese per person (about 75g)

Dressing

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 10 black peppercorns, crushed
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• pinch of salt

Method

1. Pre-heat the grill on a medium setting. Line the grill pan with tin foil, lightly greased with a little olive oil.



2. Wash the salad thoroughly and trim off any browning stalks. Tear the leaves into fork-sized pieces.
   
   
3. Dry by patting with a tea towel (clean, please!) or in a salad spinner. If the salad isn't dry, the dressing won't stick.
   
   
4. Mix the dressing ingredients in a glass jar with a screw top lid. Shake well until it looks like salad dressing!
   
   
5. Mix the salad dressing with the salad and arrange individual portions on plates.
   
   
6. Put the cheeses on greased foil and grill the cheeses under the pre-heated grill (medium) for 3 minutes (one side only). You want them to warm through, but not melt.
   
   
7. Arrange a cheese on top of each pile of salad and serve immediately.
