Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

600g brie
85g stoned dates , cut into small pieces
120g bag of rocket
100g shop-bought croƻtons , crumbled
100g walnuts , halved
25g caster sugar
6 tbsp walnut oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the candied walnuts, shake the walnut halves in 2 tbsp water, then toss in the sugar. Scatter over a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 6-8 mins until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Carefully peel the rind off the brie and discard. Put the gooey inside in a medium-sized bowl. Using a spoon or small whisk, whip the brie until pale and spoonable. To make the dressing, whisk the oil and vinegar together, then season.
  • In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, dates and rocket, then mix with some of the dressing. Place a spoonful of whipped brie in the middle of each serving plate and arrange the salad around it. Scatter over the croutons, drizzle with a little extra dressing and serve.
