Simple Goats Cheese Green Salad

7 April 2020 By

A fresh, green salad made with creamy goats cheese is a great choice for mid-week lunches. Drizzled with lashings of our Glazed Balsamic & Beetroot Reduction it has it all. Oozing with flavour, texture and a good dose of protein so it works as a standalone lunch with very simple preparation.

You can also add some leftover cooked grains like quinoa, burghal or freekeh to turn this salad into a more substantial meal by itself or alternatively some green or brown lentils. For those who don’t particularly enjoy goat’s cheese, some grilled haloumi or boiled eggs may be another option.
