Carrot and Goat's Cheese Salad Recipe
Try this delicious spring salad packed full of flavour
The carrot is definitely the busy cook’s best friend. This quick and simple carrot salad is a prime example. The key is to caramelise the vegetables in the pan. A high heat will extract the sugar and add an intense flavour. Goat’s cheese works best in this salad, or you could use blue cheese or the milder feta. I love the taste of a little sea salt sprinkled in at the end.
