This is a simple salad pairing early autumn vegetables with beautiful goat’s cheese from Ellie’s Dairy in Kent.
Ellie’s produces outstanding goat’s milk, cheese and meat from a small herd grazing on the North Downs. The herd is carefully looked after by people who really care about what they are doing and the result is delicious produce. I used the Kentish Log, a soft goat’s cheese with a tangy goaty flavour, lovely with the fresh crunchy vegetables and zingy lemon dressing.
You can find Ellie’s cheese and milk at Borough Market and other markets in London, and they have a blog where you can keep up to date with the goats’ activities on the farm at elliesdairy.blogspot.co.uk/. The meat is so good that we sell it at Gourmet Goat, also at Borough Market.
Why not try this salad with some grilled kid goat chops to make it a full meal!
- 2 apples
- 1 stick celery
- 1 bunch radishes
- 1 sprig parsley
- 50 g goat's cheese
- 1 lemon lemon juice
- 20 ml olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- Cut the apples in half and remove the cores. Slice them thin, place in a bowl and coat with lemon juice to prevent discolouration
- Slice the celery down the stick into thin slices, reserve the leaves. Top and tail the radishes and slice into thin rounds. Add to the apple slices
- Dress the vegetables with the rest of the lemon juice, the olive oil and salt and pepper
- Arrange the salad on a serving plate, crumble over the goat's cheese and garnish with parsley and celery leaves
