Bit bored by your standard green salad? Add some cheese to it!

Creamier and not as salty as feta, we love adding chèvre to our salads, and we add a citrus twang to this salad with our Woodside CheeseWrights Lemon Myrtle Chèvre. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 100 g mixed salad leaves
• 3-5 ripe figs, depending on size, at room temperature
• 6-8 strawberries, at room temperature
• 100 g Woodside CheeseWrights lemon myrtle chèvre
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp raspberry vinegar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• Freshly ground black pepper

STEPS:

Wash the salad leaves and remove excess water using a salad spinner or clean tea towel. Lay out on a serving dish.

Cut the figs in half lengthways, then cut into bite sized wedges. Arrange over the leaves.

Hull and halve the strawberries (or quarter, depending on size), and scatter over the figs and leaves.

Gently break up the chèvre with your fingers and crumble over the salad.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, raspberry vinegar, maple syrup and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and serve immediately.

**If you can’t get hold of lemon myrtle chèvre, you can substitute plain chèvre, or even a soft feta.
