Spinach, Goats' Cheese & Pecan Salad

I actually REALLY enjoy eating salads, especially in hot weather. I know some people find them boring.. but to those people I say you just ain't doing it right!! Salad doe snot have to mean lettuce, tomato, cucumber! There are some fantastic salad options out there! This is a really great one I found and like to eat fairly often.

Ingredients

100g Pecan Nuts

125g Goats' Cheese

1 red onion

120g spinach

olive oil

lemon juice

runny honey

Method

• Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat and toast the pecans for a couple of minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer half to a food processor. Blitz until you have a fine dust.
• Cut the goats’ cheese in half, lengthways, and using slightly damp hands, roll each half into a sausage shape.
• Roll each in the crushed pecans until fully coated and then cut each roll into 8 discs.
• Gently toss together the red onion, spinach, toasted whole pecans and goats’ cheese discs. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and honey until combined. Drizzle over the salad, toss to combine and serve immediately.
