There are times when you want just a light meal and yet will not leave you starving within the hour or two.
Tapa & Kesong puti salad (Beef tapa with goat cheese) is a very delicious one dish meal for a light lunch or even for supper, when you had a large meal during lunch.
Click here for a beef tapa recipe, otherwise lardon, which is diced smoked bacon, fried until golden all over can be a fantastic substitute. Parma ham can also be lovely with this salad.
The white cheese can be goat cheese, buffalo cheese, brie or any other soft cheeses.

Method of preparation:
Arrange a bed of lettuce into a serving plate.
Add the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the tapa or lardon onto the dish.
