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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Wrapping the goat cheese with bacon is pure genius. I also loved your addition of fresh thyme to the homemade dressing... YUM!

Yummy Angie.
I am not a huge fan of goats cheese, but I am sure that can be swapped out for this very delicious looking salad :)
Goat cheese is made by gods - of that I am quite sure!
Tasty and delicious.
