A delicious salad that is quite simple to prepare. The walnuts and tomatoes can be prepared ahead of time. Works really well as an entree or a light lunch. The original recipe came from 'Australian Good Taste' magazine and stated serving size was 4, I think it is better as 2 generous serves. Ingredients:
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
freshly ground salt & pepper |
200 g baby spinach leaves, washed and dried |
120 g store bought semi dried tomatoes (or use home make oven dried tomatoes, try recipe 14681) |
100 g blue cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. FOR THE DRESSING.
2. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
3. Spread the walnuts on a baking tray and cook in the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes until aromatic and toasted.
4. Combine the walnuts, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a screw top jar and shake well to combine.
5. FOR THE SALAD.
6. Place the spinach, tomatoes and blue cheese in a large bowl.
7. Drizzle with the dressing, toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
