Every feast needs something fresh and quietly vibrant to bring balance to the table, and this salad does exactly that. The crisp leaves, creamy goat’s cheese, toasted nuts and delicate pea shoots are brought together with a honey mustard dressing that is just the right balance of sweet, sharp, and silky.A fresh, vibrant salad for the Easter table
This is one of those wonderfully generous salads that feels just as at home beside a slow-cooked lamb centrepiece as it does as a simple lunch the next day.
I love layering the dressing onto the platter first, then building the greens over the top so every forkful catches a little of that honey mustard gloss. The goat’s cheese softens gently into the leaves, while the toasted nuts bring that lovely earthy crunch that makes the whole dish sing.
For the Easter table, it brings freshness and lightness among the richer dishes, a little green pause between the roast potatoes, melting lamb, and chocolate dessert.
It’s simple food, thoughtfully put together, which is often where the magic lives.
