This is one robust full on salad, one might say a Man's salad a salad that satisfy's my husband and does not leaving him asking for meat or something a few hours later! The key with this salad is the amount of ingredients that keep your tastebuds dancing all over the place, almost every mouthful is a unique combination and the dressing is a wonderful final flavour burst. You can vary the ingredients from meat, eggs and cheese to your fancy when you make this.
Prep time 15 minutes
Ingredients
(Serves 2)
1 handful of kale, beetroot leaves, Swiss chard, spinach etc
1 avocado sliced
10 cherry or baby plum tomatoes halved
1 carrot julienned
1 spring onion sliced
1/2 green pepper sliced
1 cooked beetroot grated
1 raw beetroot peeled and finely sliced
100g goats or sheep cheese crumbled
1 handful chopped walnuts
1/2 hand full mixed seeds, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, chia etc
The Dressing
1 bunch fresh parsley chopped
4 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
100ml olive oil
50ml apple cider vinegar
1/2 orange juice
1 pinch sea salt
1 clove garlic finely grated
Roughly chop or tear the salad leaves and place in a large bowl, prepare all the other ingredients ready to use, make the dressing and then pour the dressing over the salad leaves and mix well. Divide the salad leaves between two plates and then top with the rest of the ingredients and finish off with the nuts and seeds, that's it enjoy.
This salad is very flexible, why not have some jerk spiced chicken, curried coronation eggs, zesty lime and coconut chicken, poached salmon or seared sesame tuna instead for some ideas.
