Goat Cheese, Tomato, Basil and Prosciutto Salad


This is what I call Italy on a plate. All the colours of an Italian flag, and probably the flavours of Italy all rolled into one dish. The only exception was that I used goat cheese, and this one was a Welsh cheese. I still prefer the Meredith's goat cheese from Daylesford. 
 B and I are heading to Bath tonight. Really excited to spend a weekend away... will let you know all about it!

Goat Cheese, Tomato, Basil and Prosciutto Salad

One punnet cherry tomatoes (the ones I had were actually from Italy- plump and juicy!)
handful basil, torned
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
100g goat cheese, crumbled
2 slices prosciutto, pan fried till crisp
2 tbsp balsamic reduction/balsamic dressing
2 tbsp olive oil

Toss everything in a large bowl. Voila! Your salad is ready to be served.

What a meal this was. The roast chicken was delicous, with crispy salty skin and moist tender flavorsome flesh. The special step was roasting lemon and garlic with the chicken. The smell of the roast in the apartment was fantastic! And the salad was as good as it looks. The only thing missing was a good wine, and the great company of our friends.
