Today’s Friday food is inspired by a dish I ordered at Gordon Ramsay’s Plane Food restaurant in terminal 5 at Heathrow, on route back from my last holiday. After too many hours to count in the air, tons of crappy plane food and feeling sleep deprived, I wanted something light and clean and fresh but still filling enough that I didn’t need to bother with dinner later that evening.
This beautiful dish fit the bill perfectly and I snapped it to remind me to make it again!
It’s not an official recipe, but here goes…
- Take a couple of handfuls of rocket (or other green leaves like spinach and watercress) and dress with a splash of olive oil and a sprinke of sea salt. Toss to coat the leaves.
- Chop 4 beetroots (not the pickled kind) into quarters and throw on.
- Roughly chop and add to the salad, half a handful of walnut halves – don’t make them too small.
- Crumble over some goats cheese – amount to taste, and toss the whole salad again.
Consume in the sun preferably, with a chilled glass of white.
Happy weekend readers!
Love

This looks fab and as soon as the sun returns (fingers crossed ) I will attempt this !
I’ve had a similar salad at Bill Granger’s restaurant in Sydney – delish! x
Yum. That is all.
So funny, we had a beetroot, goat’s cheese and walnut salad for tea the other night! Psychic connection…
For ours I just bought Asda’s bistro salad which comes with shredded beetroot already in it (lazy). I also toasted the walnuts in a dry frying pan and melted the goat’s cheese under a grill slightly before adding to the salad, so it was all gooey. We also added quartered baby tomatoes, yellow pepper and spring onion to bulk it out a bit, then I made a dead simple dressing with a wee bit of crushed garlic, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Ate it with some pitta and houmous on the side and it was YUM. Nom nom nom. Highly recommended.
Sounds fab Kirsty. My boy hates goats cheese and beetroot, so I am going to make this all for me my next night in on my own x
Sounds delicious Kirsty, love the addition of pitta bread and houmous!
