• 6 carrots
• 100 g walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

with honey-walnut vinaigrette

For the salad, julienne the carrots and mix well with the endive, then stir in half of the chopped walnuts. For the vinaigrette, put the oil, vinegar, honey, a quarter of the walnuts, and salt/pepper in a sealable container, close the lid, and shake well. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and mix well. Sprinkle the rest of the walnuts over the salad. For the goat cheese balls, cut the goat cheese into cubes, wrap each one in bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Fry the wrapped balls in a very hot pan on both sides until the cheese melts slightly. Arrange the still-warm, bacon-wrapped goat cheese balls on top of the salad.
