Summer Salad
Strawberry & Tomato Salad with Balsamic Dressing
Serves 4
Salad
- 1 x punnet cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered (I like to use the medley for colour!)
- 1 x punnet strawbs, washed, stems removed
- ½ cup toasted pecan pieces
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 150g mixed rocket and baby spinach leaves
- Big handful fresh basil leaves finely sliced
Dressing
- 1x punnet srawbs, washed, stems removed
- 2 tbsp chopped basil leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Squeeze of lemon juice to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and mix well.
To make dressing place all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and blitz using a hand mixer. Or use a food processor. Dressing is best made at least a couple of hours before serving salad to let the flavours infuse. I like to make the dressing the day before.
Dress salad just before serving.
VARIATION – serve with shaved parmesan or crumbled feta.
