Amanda and myself were browsing for ideas for our weekly menu and we wanted a fresh summery salad. After gathering lots of ideas, Amanda came across a vlogger that used strawberries in her salad and we said why not...let's have a go! A summer salad with the most famous summer fruit of them all...the juicy strawberry! To accompany it some creamy and mellow French goat cheese. As dressing nothing too complicated...just some extra virgin olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. We had it as a light supper but it can easily be eaten as a quick lunch as well! Give it a go...it was a combination made in heaven. For 2 salads as suppers you will need...
- 1/2 Iceberg lettuce, washed and chopped roughly or any salad leaves
- 1 French Goat cheese, sliced [about 150g]
- 6-8 large strawberries, sliced
- 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
- Toasted flaked almonds
- Fresh basil leaves
- Extra Virgin Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
How to...
- Start by toasting the almond flakes in a small dry pan, stir them occasionally to make sure they do not get burnt, about 5 minute. now divide the lettuce between two plates.
- Lay the strawberries, goat cheese and avocado on top of the lettuce.
- Sprinkle the toasted flaked almonds and put a couple of basil leaves.
- Dress with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve.
Enjoy!!
