Mixed salad with Zoghbi dressing
Mixed salad with Zoghbi dressing
My good friend Mikael Zoghbi, who travels the world almost on a daily basis, picking up culinary ideas on the way, served me this very unusual but delicious salad the other evening so I thought I should share it with you. Use good yoghurt that contains real vanilla rather than cheap vanilla essence.
This recipe will also show children how ex perimenting with ingredients can be exciting and fun.
Ingredients
1 oak leaf lettuce, washed and leaves torn up
1 small radicchio lettuce, washed and torn up
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
8 cherry tomatoes, destalked and halved
Handful pine nuts
For the dressing:
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp caster sugar
Juice of half lemon
50ml sherry vinegar
300ml virgin olive oil
2 tbsp good vanilla yoghurt.
Put the garlic, mustard powder, paprika, salt, pepper and caster sugar into a jug and mix well. Add the lemon juice, vinegar, oil and yoghurt and then whisk well. Adjust taste and serve.
