Method

Wash and dry the salad leaves and tear all the large leaves into bite-sized bits. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together. Cover each piece of toasted French bread with a 2cm slice of goat’s cheese. Just before serving, preheat the grill. Place the slices of bread and cheese under the grill and toast for 5 or 6 minutes or until the cheese is soft and slightly golden.
