Gourmet salad

Jun. 15, 2010 No Comments Posted under: Healthy meals

I haven’t really enjoyed a home made salad for a while, but this one sure took me by surprise:

Ingredients:

  • Cos/Iceberg lettuce
  • Chicken breast
  • Cooked beetroot
  • Cucumber
  • Goats cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar glaze
  • Honey
  • Lemon
  • Soy sauce
  • Salt & Pepper

How to:

  • Cut up the lettuce, chicken breast, cucumber and toss together in a bowl with the cooked beetroot pieces and thinly sliced goats cheese.
  • Then mix a teaspoon of honey, half a teaspoon of balsamic glaze, and a 4cm thick slice of goats cheese into a thick paste. Pour three table spoons of olive oil, a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a dash of soy sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  • Pour dressing over  salad and serve.

[Unfortunately it was too delish and I ate it before I could take a picture! I'll have to try again tomorrow.]
