s2f Xmas Salad
Salad:
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 small red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
- 500g turkey breast meat (could be left-overs)
- 100g baby spinach leaves
- 1 small red capsicum, sliced
- 2 cups mixed Asian herbs (such as coriander, mint, Thai basil)
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled, sliced
- Black sesame seeds, to sprinkle, optional
Dressing:
- 5 tbsp (100ml) honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 100ml peanut oil
- 2 tsps sesame oil
Mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, garlic and chilli, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over the sliced turkey and set aside.
To make the dressing, place the honey and vinegar in a food processor and process to combine. With the motor running, slowly add the peanut and sesame oils until a thickish dressing forms.
Place a pile of spinach on each plate and top with a handful of herbs, followed by some turkey. Lay slices of mango on top, drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the black sesame seeds.
NOTE - Make this a great vegetarian salad by swapping out the turkey meat for tofu. Prepare the same as you would the turkey but let the tofu marinade for longer, even over night.
