plum & manchego salad
lettuce, plums, peas & broccoli mixed w/ basil & tangerine dressing & topped w/ walnuts, manchego cheese & sweet pickled onions.
IngredientsMakes: 508g (2)
| 140g | (3) | plums | |
| 50g | lettuce | ||

| 3g | mint | ||
| 20g | (5) | walnuts | |
| 20g | manchego | ||
| 80g | basil & tangerine dressing | (recipe below) |
Method
| The plums are starting to drop so they're making their way into the recipes w/ the other homegrown bits . . . |
| I was poking about the fridge and found some rather dry olive bread, so I put that into an egg wash mix to soak - see below. |
| Put the onions on to pickle. |
| Then make the dressing - 100g including the topping. Keep some small basil leaves for decoration. |
| Cut the plums into halves, stone them & cut them into quarters. |
| Cut a head of lettuce - was a homegrown on the kitchen window sill - and add to mixing bowl. |
| Steam the tenderstem broccoli for 7 mins - there was some in the fridge already cooked so I lobbed it in. |
| Shell & boil the peas for 2-3mins depending on how big they are then place them into cold water to retain their colour. |
| Crush the walnuts w/ the side of a knife, not into powder - leave them relatively chunky. |
| Make the french toast & dice it into croutons. |
| Tear the mint w/ your fingers and mix it w/ the lettuce, peas, plums, broccoli, croutons & 80g of the dressing - leave some to top the salad. |
| Top the salad w/ walnuts, manchego shavings, sweet pickled onions, basil & tangerine dressing & basil & mint leaves. |
