Grilled Goat Cheese Salad
Our first dinner in Dunster England was at the Stags Head Inn Restaurant. Just steps away from our lodging, this quaint restaurant gave us our first flavor of food in Dunster. One of our starters was a Grilled Goat Cheese Salad. This recipe is inspired by our dinner in Dunster.

INGREDIENTS FOR DRESSING
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves minced
½ teaspoon ground mustard or 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Dash of salt
Black pepper to taste
INGREDIENTS FOR SALAD
8 ounces goat cheese log, cut into ½ inch slices
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups lettuce leaves, tear into bite size pieces
½ cucumber sliced
12 to 16 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 roasted beet, diced
1 pear, sliced
4 tablespoons chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS
Roast beet and set aside.
Pre-heat grill or oven to high heat and line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking mat. Halve the cheese rounds to make four discs. Halve and core the pear, cut each half into slices and arrange on the baking sheet. Lightly brush the pears with oil, then grill for seven minutes. Add the cheese rounds on the baking sheet, and cook the pears and cheese for about under three minutes.
Make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add the lettuce leaves and salad ingredients to coat with the dressing. Top each salad with 2 or 3 grilled goat cheese rounds and walnut pieces. Serve immediately.
