Instructions
- In a tall container, add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and blend with a hand blender until you get a smooth dressing. If it seems too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water. Place it in the fridge until ready to use.
- Next, cut the salad into bite-sized pieces, wash thoroughly, and place in a salad bowl. Wash the chives thoroughly as well, and cut them into fine rings.
- Wash and dry the radishes, cucumber, and pear. Peel the red onion. Slice everything thinly and distribute over the salad, along with the blackberries.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Lay the bacon strips on a sheet of baking paper and sprinkle each strip with about 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the sugar has melted and caramelized.
- Now prepare three small deep plates. Fill the first one with wheat flour, beat an egg with salt in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, panko, and thyme in the third. Cut the goat cheese into thick slices, then coat each slice first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb-panko mixture. Press everything down firmly.
- Take the bacon out of the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, tear it into pieces and sprinkle over the salad.
- Heat some clarified butter in a pan and fry the goat cheese rounds until crispy on all sides. Place them on the salad.
- Finally, sprinkle a bit of chives on top as a garnish. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
