Butterhead lettuce salad with strawberries, kale, almonds and goat cheese
We love this butterhead lettuce salad with strawberries, kale, almonds and goat cheese. Mostly for its gorgeous colours and how it brightens up the table. It tastes pretty good too with a self-made fresh strawberry vinaigrette dressing and some nice balsamic glaze.

lets get
cooking
- 4 tbsp sliced almonds
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 400 g strawberries
- 1 red butterhead lettuce (Salanova)
- 40 g baby kale
- 125 g goat cheese
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze (or a mature, cask-aged balsamic vinegar)
- 3 strawberries
- 1 small shallot
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper

- Preheat a frying pan without adding any oil or butter and toast the almonds for approx. 3 min. until golden brown. Leave them to cool on a plate.
- In the meantime, chop the shallot as finely as possible.
- Remove the crowns from 3 strawberries and mash them finely in a bowl.
- Add the shallot and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Halve the rest of the strawberries.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves and the kale on a plate.
- Add the strawberries and then drizzle on the dressing. Mix well and then crumble the goat’s cheese over the top.
- Apply the balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern and garnish with the almonds.
