Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Arrange the watercress and orange segments on a serving platter, then arrange the warm goat’s cheese on top. Scatter over the croutons and walnuts, then drizzle over the dressing and serve straightaway.
