Simple Goats Cheese and Beetroot Salad

Serves 1


I just whipped up this salad for lunch. It's so much more satisfying than the beans on toast my boyfriend had! So quick and simple to do. 


Ingredients:

large handful of rocket
1 small  cooked beetroot
around the same amount of goats cheese as beetroot
little bit of olive oil
balsamic glaze (from a bottle, naughty)

Equipment:

ovenproof dish (I used a tin plate)
small knife
bowl

Method:

- Pre-heat the oven to around 180C. Using a small knife, chop up the beetroot into smallish chunks and put onto the ovenproof dish. drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and put into the middle of the oven.

- Meanwhile, take a large handful of rocket and place into the bowl. Cut up the goats cheese into small cubes, and sprinkle over the rocket. 

- After 5-7 minutes, take the beetroot out of the oven (n.b. roasting the beetroot is optional, I prefer it warm). Place the bits of beetroot over the rocket and goats cheese. Finally, drizzle the balsamic glaze (you could also use a balsamic reduction, but I don't have a recipe for it yet) over the top of it all, and enjoy.


Et voila!
