Ingredients
Method
To make the granita, mix the apple and lemon juice with the soy and sugar, place onto a tray in the freezer and allow to freeze, every 30 minutes run a fork through the mixture to break up the ice until a tray of frozen crystals is complete, retain in the freezer until needed.
Freeze the log of goats cheese. Keep in freezer until service.
Mix the vinegar, sugar and together and bring to a boil, pour over the walnuts and allow to cool, pickle for 2 hours minimum.
Mix the salad items together and arrange artistically in a bowl, add the walnuts. remove goats cheese from the freezer and using a grater, grate the cheese onto the salad , working quickly now as the cheese will defrost quickly, then spoon the granite onto the side of the plate again working quickly, serve immediately.
