Simple, classic and always popular: fresh goat's cheese wrapped in smoky bacon on a lettuce salad with baby radishes, raspberries and a thyme vinaigrette. This salad is particularly popular as a starter for festive menus. With some homemade sourdough bread, this salad will also make an excellent main course. It's quick to make, super tasty and an absolute eye-catcher. I used a mixture of oak leaf, lollo rosso und lollo bianco as the salad base, but you can use other lettuce or greens.

 
  • 150 g Lettuce (oak leaf lettuce, lollo rosso und lollo bianco)
  • 100 g Small white radishes, halved
  • 125 g Raspberries
  • 1 tbsp Chives, chopped
  • 4x60 g Fresh goat's cheese
  • Black pepper
  • 8 slice Bacon
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 4 Thyme sprigs
  • 3 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Thyme leaves
  • 3 tbsp Avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Clean the lettuce and tear into bite-sized pieces. For the dressing, mix the vinegar with the thyme, season with salt and pepper and stir in the oil. You can also place all the ingredients in a jar and shake until well combined.
  2. Season the goat cheese with freshly milled black pepper and wrap 2 slices of bacon around the centre of each piece. Make sure that the slices overlap.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the cheese parcels until crispy on both sides, top with thyme and fry briefly over a low heat until done. Baste frequently with cooking fat. Remove the cheese from the pan and leave to rest briefly.
  4. Mix the lettuce and halved radishes with half of the dressing and divide into 2-4 salad plates. Top with the raspberries, chopped chives and bacon-wrapped goat cheese.
