How To Make Beetroot And Goats Cheese Salad

You're going to love how simple this goats cheese beetroot salad is to make.

Step One - Roast the beetroot

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6

• Take the cooked beetroot and slice into chunky wedges. Toss in the olive oil and then spread out in a roasting tin. Roast in the oven for around 20 minutes until they start to caramelise and go sticky around the edges.

Step Two - Warm the goats cheese

• Slice the goats cheese in half horizontally so you have two fat discs of cheese.

• Drizzle the cheese with the hot honey. Then place into the roasting tin with the beetroot and just cook for the last few minutes of roasting the beetroot - just until the honey starts to bubble and the cheese just starting to melt.

Step Three - Serve the warm beetroot and goats cheese starter

• Take the serving platter and scatter over the rocket leaves, then slide the two discs of warm, sticky goats cheese onto the plate. Scatter over the roasted beetroot wedges and walnuts. Drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

What To Serve With Beetroot And Goats Cheese Salad

I just don't think you can go wrong with some sort of bread alongside this cheese salad. I like to serve with garlicky bruschettas.

Simply toast some slices of sourdough, then rub the surface with a clove of peeled garlic. Then drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil. They're perfect for scooping up the warm, melty goats cheese.

It also goes great with fresh, crusty bloomer, French baguette or even some nice focaccia bread.
