Spinach, Bacon and Goat's Cheese Salad (Recipe)

 

 

Ingredients

60ml (fl oz) light olive oil

2tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp Dijon honey mustard

1 tsp chopped fresh dill

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

375g (12 oz) spinach leaves, washed

3 celery stalks, cut into 50mm (2in) sticks

6 spring onions, trimmed and sliced

60g (2 oz) good-quality firm goat's cheese, crumbled

4 strips smoky bacon, cooked and crumbles

Steps

1.  For the dressing, mix together all the dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender; process until smooth in texture.  (Like most vinai-grettes, if the dressing stands the oil and vinegar may separate; just stir again before use.)

2.  In a mixing bowl combine the spinach, celery, spring onions, goat's cheese and a quarter of the prepared salad dressing.  Add additional dressing as desired.  Toss to coat evenly.  Place the salad om plates or a platter, and sprinkle with the cooked bacon and roasted sunflower seeds or soya nuts.
