Method

Dressing

1.Preheat oven grill. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small lidded container, shake well and set aside.

Cheese toast

2.Slice cheese into thinnish slices and arrange on baguette slices. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
3.Grill the cheese-topped bread until the bread is lightly toasted around the edges and the cheese is golden brown. Place on the salad (method below) and drizzle with a little more dressing. Serve while the cheese is still warm.

Salad

4.Put leaves in a large bowl and dress lightly with dressing, mixing it gently through the leaves with your hands. Pile onto a platter or serving plates. Scatter on the grapes and pecans.

To lightly toast raw pecans, place on an oven tray and cook in the oven for 7–10 minutes at 180°C. Set the timer so you don’t forget them!
