This goat Cheese Salad with Cranberries, Seeds and Bacon combines fresh salad leaves with cranberries, seeds and bacon. It feels light on the plate, but has enough flavour and substance for lunch or a simple evening meal.

Why does goat cheese work so well in a salad?

Goat cheese adds creaminess and a gentle tang to a salad. When it is balanced with something sweet, something crisp and a fresh dressing, the result feels complete rather than like a simple bowl of greens.
