Serves 6

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 6 minutes

3 oz Montchevre goat cheese crottins
12 thin smoked bacon strips
12 cooked chestnuts
10 oz. mixed green salad
1 shallot
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons nut or walnut oil

In a large salad bowl combine salad (washed and drained), shallot (peeled and chopped finely) and chestnuts. Set aside.

In a separate bowl mix vinegar, nut oil, sunflower oil (2 tbs), salt, pepper and also set aside.

Next place two strips of bacon in a cross and cut crottins in half. Place one half of each crottin at the center of bacon cross and fold ends over to tightly wrap crottin. Repeat 5 times.
