Delicious as a snack, or starter or even as a light lunch: try this simple yet deliciously filling salad with Romaine hearts, soft goat cheese and spicy lentil vinaigrette - seasoned with thyme and chilli!
Romaine Hearts are the center leaves of Romaine lettuce. Smaller, more yellow, and sweeter, these leaves have a delicious flavour and tender texture that is perfect for salad.

 

	Red Lentil Vinaigrette
3 Romaine hearts, halved lengthwise 180 g Soft goat cheese (I used Soignon) 3 tbsp Whipping cream 3 tbsp Water 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped	3 tbsp Olive oil 1 Red onion, peeled and finely chopped 1 tsp Thyme leaves 1 Bay leaf 125 g Red lentils, rinsed 120 ml Water 120 ml Carrot juice 4 tbsp White wine vinegar (or white balsamic) A pinch of chilli Sea salt and black pepper

1. Wash the lettuce hearts thoroughly, drain, shake dry, cut into half lengthwise and arrange on a large platter.
2. Roughly chop the cheese, and place them in a small food processor with whipping cream and water. Spread the creamy cheese mixture over the cut sides of the lettuce hearts.
3. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion over a low heat. Add the thyme, bay leaf and red lentils and water. Cover the lentils and simmer gently for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Season to taste with chilli, salt, pepper and reheat gently.
4. Spread the dressing over the lettuce hearts, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
