Warm Spiced Nut & Goats' Cheese Salad
Goats' cheese rolled in fruity spiced nuts and black pepper sits atop a roast red onion, sweet potato and mixed baby leaf salad. We've partnered up with Mr. Filbert's - the owner of some seriously delicious nuts. These orange, cranberry, cinnamon and honey roast nuts go perfectly with our mild, creamy goats' cheese- creating a salad to go nuts for!

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Chop the sweet potato[es] (skins on) into large bite-size pieces
Cut the onion[s] into wedges, leaving the skins on (this stops them drying out)
Add the sweet potato and onion to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess)
Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper
Put the tray in the oven for 20-30 min or until the onion is tender and sweet potatoes are cooked through and starting to crisp
Meanwhile, wash the salad and leave to dry until serving
Once dry, add to a large mixing bowl
Tip: you can dry your salad by placing it in a clean tea towel and gently massaging it dry
Add the nuts to a separate baking tray or heatproof dish
Put them in the oven for 10 min or until they have darkened slightly in colour
Wait until the nuts have cooled then chop half of them roughly and reserve the rest for step 7
Combine the vinegar in a small bowl with 3 tbsp [6 tbsp] olive oil and season with salt and pepper
This is your dressing
Grind a generous amount of pepper onto a clean chopping board and add the crushed nuts
Roll the goats' cheese in the toasted nuts and pepper
Tip: apply a good amount of pressure so that the nuts stick to the cheese
Reserve the nuts that didn't make it for garnish!
Once the vegetables are done, carefully remove the skins from the cooked onion by cutting off the root and peeling the skin off
Add the onion, sweet potato and remaining toasted nuts to the salad bowl and toss with the dressing
Slice the goats' cheese into thick slices or break it up into rough pieces
Serve the salad with the goat's cheese over the top
Enjoy!
