Pocket Full of Sunshine
Prep Time: 15 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients
15 gm candied pecans
90 gm spinach
3 gm red onion
30 gm strawberries
30 gm blueberries
60 gm avocado
20 gm feta cheese, crumbled
For the candied pecans:
64 gm pecans
10 gm butter
4 gm brown sugar
Pinch of salt
For the dressing:
24 gm sugar
52 ml olive oil
12 ml apple cider vinegar
4.5 gm Dijon mustard
5 gm garlic cloves
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Start off by toasting the pecans. Melt butter in a skillet; once it gets heated, add the pecans, then gently sprinkle sugar to cover them followed by a touch of salt.
Stir well until pecans are totally covered in the sauce; then, empty the pan onto parchment paper and allow to cool.
For the salad, combine spinach, sliced red onion, and halved strawberries and blueberries.
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and pour half of it onto the salad; toss to ensure it's evenly combined.
Top this with the avocado. Next, crumble feta cheese on top followed by a handful of the candied pecans.
Pour over the rest of the dressing and finish the salad with 1-3 edible flowers.
Peach Please
Prep time: 15 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients
10 gm toasted pine nuts
70 gm mixed lettuce
40 gm cucumber
20 gm cranberry
30 gm feta, cubed
100 gm caramelised peach
40 ml balsamic dressing
For the balsamic dressing:
60 ml balsamic vinegar
200 ml olive oil
80 ml honey
20 gm Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together (this will also refrigerate well, so you can enjoy it over some cooked veggies later).
Place pine nuts in a pan big enough to contain them in a single layer (else, toast them in batches). Keep the heat on low, and make sure to turn them every minute or so until golden brown (the pan should be dry; you do not need any oil to toast them).
While the pine nuts are cooling, add mixed lettuce to a bowl and mix in cucumber, cranberry and feta cubes. Drain peaches and place them on top.
Once the pine nuts have cooled down, scatter them on top before finishing the salad with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Serve.
