For the relish, peel the onions and cut into narrow columns. Rinse, trim and cut the rhubarb into 3 cm (approximately 1 inch) long pieces.

Apply to each goat cheese piece brown sugar and butter and bake until golden brown for about 5 minutes in the oven. Rinse the lettuces, remove tough stems, spin dry and chop into bite-sized pieces, then transfer to plates. Mix the red wine vinegar with the mustard and olive oil, season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the salad. Arrange the goat cheese and relish on the salad and serve sprinkled with lavender flowers.
