Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Trim and wash the beets under running water and dry with a paper towel. Lightly oil a large piece of foil and place on a baking tray. Place the beets in the middle and scrunch the edges of the foil together to make a loose tent, place in the oven and cook for about an hour or until tender.
- Allow to cool then peel off the skin and quarter.
- Pre heat the grill, place the slices of goat's log on lightly-oiled tin foil and grill until browned and starting to melt. At the same time grill the walnut bread both sides.
- Place a disc of goat's log on top of each piece of grilled bread. Arrange the salad leaves, beetroot, walnuts on plates, scatter with fine nuts. Place the bread and goat's log on top of the salad leaves, dress with vinaigrette and snipped chives.
Top Tip for making Goat's cheese salad
to give the bread an attractive chargrilled look, drizzle it lightly with olive oil and toast it on a very hot ridged grill or an electric contact grill.
