Prepare the goat cheese by cutting it into long slivers of about 1/3” wide.
Strip the mint leaves from the sprigs.
Peel the nectarines and divide them in segments.
Heat a heavy skillet or stovetop grill pan. Thinly brush the nectarine segments with about 1 tbsp walnut oil. Grill them for a minute each side and take from the pan.
Squeeze the half lemon over a salad bowl, add honey, walnut oil, fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste and whish into a smooth dressing.
Gently fold in the cheese, salad, rucola, mint and walnuts.
