Strawberries & Goat Cheese Salad

Ingredients:
1 green lettuce
150 g fresh strawberries
150 g French goat cheese
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1-2 slices lemon
1 sprig fresh mint
Pinch of coarsely ground sea salt, optional
5-6 drops of balsamic vinegar, optional

Method:

Chill the goat cheese for 4-5 minutes in a freezer, tightly wrapped into a wrap foil. Stir in a small bowl the olive oil, honey and lemon juice and leave aside. Wash and dry onto a cotton cloth or kitchen paper lettuce leaves and strawberries. Slice the cheese with a sharp knife into thin slices. Slice the strawberries – halve the smaller ones and slice the larger. Into a salad bowl or suitable plate sprinkle half of the strawberries. Tear over about three quarters of the lettuce. Sprinkle with some of mint leaves and optionally with a pinch of coarsely ground sea salt. Add the remaining strawberries and arrange on top sliced goat cheese, lemon slices, left lettuce leaves and mint. Season the salad with the dressing. Decorate with a slice of strawberry and mint leaf and optionally sprinkle a few drops of balsamic vinegar.
