Sprout salad with goat cheese and walnuts

This salad is a classic that never fails: the intensity of goat cheese is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the greens and the crunchy touch of walnuts. It’s an elegant dish, quick to prepare, and full of nuance. To season the greens and enhance the flavor of the nuts without adding sodium, we’ll use Bonsalt 0%.

Technical Sheet

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

• 150g tender greens (spring mix, arugula, and lamb's lettuce)

• 100g goat cheese log

• 40g shelled walnuts

• Seasoning: Bonsalt 0% and ground black pepper.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preparing the base: Wash and dry the tender greens very well. It is essential that they are dry so the dressing sticks properly and they do not wilt. Arrange them in a large salad bowl.

2. Cheese preparation: Cut the goat cheese log into slices of about one centimeter. If you prefer, you can lightly sear them in a very hot nonstick pan (seared on both sides) so the outside caramelizes and the inside softens.

3. The crunchy touch: Break the walnuts apart with your hands. If you want a more intense flavor, you can toast them for a minute in a dry pan before adding them.

4. Fruit and freshness: Slice the apple or pear thinly and add it to the bed of greens for a juicy texture.

5. Vinaigrette emulsion: In a small jar, mix the oil, Modena vinegar, honey, a pinch of pepper, and Bonsalt 0%. Shake vigorously until all the ingredients are combined.

6. Final assembly: Scatter the goat cheese and walnuts over the salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving to keep the greens crisp.
