Goat’s cheese salad with cranberry dressing

Method

1. In a large dry frying pan, toast the bread over a medium heat until golden, then cut into chunky croutons. In the same pan, toast the walnuts, then set aside and wipe out the pan.
2. Add the oil to the pan and heat for 1 minute. Add the goat’s cheese slices and fry (in batches if necessary) for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
3. Meanwhile, put all the dressing ingredients, along with any reserved juice from the oranges, in a small jug. Season to taste, adding a good grind of pepper, and stir together, adding a splash of water if need be.
