Citrus salad with goat cheese

Have you met mizuna? It's a frilly little salad green found often in Asian dishes. It also does well cooked into hot dishes.

If you have a tajine, you should become friends with mizuna as they play nice together.

Meanwhile, this is not a tajine recipe, nor an Asian recipe. Just something thrown together from the contents of the garden on a spring evening.

Citrus salad with goat cheese

Serves 2
Ingredients
Bunch of mizuna
2 oranges, peeled, cut into small wedges
1/4 cup of crumbled goat cheese
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil

To make:
Rinse the mizuna really well, making sure to knock off any remnant dirt from the farm. Trim off excess stalk at the end. Fill a couple bowls with the mizuna, add goat cheese and oranges, pour on a bit of olive oil, a bit of salt and a healthy grind of pepper.

I like a lot of pepper on this. It's good with the sweet oranges and smoky goat cheese. 

Happy feasting.
