(2) Add Goat Feta Cheese & Walnuts

In a small frying pan, toast 50 g walnuts, and roughly chop them when they have cooled down.

Crumble the Goat Feta Cheese or Feta Cheese and the roughly chopped walnuts over the salad. 

(3) The Salad Dressing 

For the dressing, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl or cup. Whisk everything together, until the consistency slightly thickens. Add salt & pepper to taste, and pour it over the salad.
