This grilled goat cheese and walnuts salad has something in common with the great British tradition that is cheese and beans on toast, namely that the title of the recipe is the recipe itself.

It is one of our favourite salads because it requires minimum shopping and can be prepared very quickly but it still has a sort of Ooh factor whenever we eat it.

Serve it on its own for a light yet very nutritious lunch. It goes fantastically well will a nice full-bodied red wine.
