Notes from the Cape

This is a really simple salad, but really yummy. It is based on a recipe in the BBQ Bible. I don’t really know the quantities – but hey it is a salad, so improvise!

Ingredients

• bunch mixed lettuce leaves
• bunch wild rocket
• about 2 cups baby tomatoes – halved
• 8 spring onions
• 50g almonds – crushed (or walnuts of you prefer)
• 2 avocado pears – sliced

Method

Cut the firm ends of the spring onions into 5cm long lengths, and then split length ways. Finely chop some of the leafy bits as a garnish.

Add all ingredients to a salad bowl and lightly toss. Garnish with the chopped spring onions.

Mustard dressing

Mix the following:

• about 50m vinegar
• 25ml olive oil
• 1 tablespoon wholegrain French mustard
• pinch of salt and pepper
• mixed herbs

Serve on the salad – the leftover dressing should keep for a while
