Today I made

Cheese and cranberry salad

• 100g of Goats cheese


• 1 ripe pear


• oil,for brushing


• handful of broken pecan nuts


• 80g of spinach


For the dressing

• 1 tbsp cranberry sauce


• 1 tbsp olive oil


• 1 tbsp of lemon juice

1) Preheat the grill to high ana line the grill rack with foil. Halve the cheese to make two disks. Halve and core the pear, cut each half into slices and arrange in two piles on the file. Lightly brush the pears with oil then top each pile with a cheese disc (cut side up) and grill for a few minutes until lightly golden and bubbling. Scatter with the nuts and grill for a minute or so more.

2)For the dressing whisk the cranberry sauce with the oil and lemon juice

3)Arrange salad leaves on plates put the pears and cheese on top spoon over the dressing, scatter over any stray nuts and eat straight away while the cheese is still runny.

It was amazingly delicious. lovely combination of flavours. I am a big spinach fan anyway but spinach and goats cheese is divine!
