Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g Goat's cheese
- 250 g Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 100 g Rocket (arugula)
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Pine nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and stem, and place it cut side down on the tray. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the skin starts to blister and char slightly.
While the pepper roasts, halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside in a salad bowl.
Remove the roasted red pepper from the oven and place it in a bowl covered with cling film or inside a resealable plastic bag. Let it steam for 5 minutes, then peel off the skin and slice the pepper into thin strips.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the rocket leaves, roasted pepper slices, and halved cherry tomatoes to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Crumble the goat's cheese over the top of the salad, followed by a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful goat's cheese salad!
