Goat's Cheese Salad with Orange Sauce


This is one of the nicest dishes my boyfriend has created and one of my favourite salads. The orange sauce is the best dressing I've had with goat's cheese.

Salad:

rucola
lettuce (for example lollo rosso or curled lettuce)
cherry tomatoes
(cucumber)

goat's cheese (thickly sliced)
white bread (sliced)
black pepper

Dressing:

olive oil
2 oranges (juice of 2 and zest of 1)
(half a small red onion, sliced)
a splash of balsamic vinegar
a pinch of salt
sugar

- Fry the onion for a few minutes until it's softened.
- Add the orange zest and fry for a further minute, and then add the juice, salt, balsamic vinegar and sugar.
- Continue to cook the dressing on a medium heat until it has thickened slightly.

- Grill one side of the bread, then turn over and place the goat's cheese on top of the slices. Drizzle some olive oil on top, give it a twist of pepper, and grill until the cheese has some brown spots.

- Spoon the dressing over the salad and cheese.

  1. The dressing sounds interesting, have you tried it with any other cheeses?

  2. Nope. Surely it could work with other cheeses too. If you'll try let us know how it goes :)
