I like a nice salad at any time of the year. This is one of my faves;
GOATS CHEESE, PINE NUT AND BEETROOT SALAD
serves 4
400g or so of a firm goats cheese, chevre is lovely and zesty
a bag of mixed salad leaves, rocket works well with this
a handful of pine nuts, toasted in a pan until a bit golden brown (don't leave alone for even a second or they'll burn and be bitter and nasty)
a packed of pre cooked beetroots, not the vinegared kind. usually I am all virtous and roast my own stuff but beetroots leave your hands and everything else an attractive shade of pink - nice in a handbag, not so good on your kitchen surfaces!
combine.
make a dressing with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a dash of maple syrup or if you can get it, pommegranate syrup - delish.
serve with a smile and some bread for a lunch or on it's won as a la de dah starter.
Enjoy!!

Oooh this sounds lovely - all my favourite ingredients in one dish! I know what you mean about watching the pinenuts - it's a bit like fruit in a bowl - one minute it's not ripe then the next minute it's gone all squashy.
