Grilled goat’s cheese salad with honey dressing

Method

1. Put the pecans in a small pan over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of the honey and a pinch of salt. Let the honey heat and bubble, shaking the pan from time to time, for 4-5 minutes or until the pecans are browned and glazed with the honey. Transfer to a sheet of compostable baking paper, then leave to set.
2. Put the onion slices in a ceramic or glass bowl with the vinegar, sugar and a good pinch of salt, then stir well. Set aside for 15 minutes, then drain, reserving the juices and onions separately.
3. Heat the grill to high and line the grill pan with foil. Lightly brush one side of the bread with a little olive oil, then grill, oiled side up, for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Turn the slices over so the charred side is now underneath and top with a slice of goat’s cheese, then season with the crushed pepper.
4. Grill for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tbsp honey in a small saucepan until just simmering. Remove the pan from the heat.
5. Put the salad leaves, herbs, pickled onion slices and pecans in a mixing bowl. Toss with the reserved juices and remaining oil, stirring to combine. Divide between 4 plates, top with the cheese toasts, then immediately drizzle with the warm honey and serve straightaway.
