Summer Salads

A big, bountiful salad is the best way to celebrate delicious seasonal produce, especially in this heat! Here is a simple but stunning salad recipes I love to make again and again.


Simple chilli stuffed green olive and tomato salad 💃


INGREDIENTS for 2


200g OLIVE ENVY CHILLI FILLED green olives. (or your choice of green olives if you can’t stand the heat!)

½ cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 spring onions, thinly sliced

1 Lebanese cucumber, halved, seeds removed, cut into 1 cm pieces

2 large ripe tomatoes, seeds removed, cut into 1 cm pieces

2 tbsp pomegranate molasses (or an acid of your choice e.g., lemon juice or balsamic fare well here)

2 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil (maybe a splash more)

35g (⅓ cup) walnuts, roasted, chopped




METHOD:

Cut the chilli stuffed olives in half width wise.

(Or slice the cheeks from your whole green olives, discarding the stones), and place in a bowl with parsley, onions, cucumber, and tomatoes.


To make the dressing, whisk together pomegranate molasses and oil in a bowl, season to taste.

Drizzle salad with dressing and toss gently to combine. Scatter over walnuts just before serving.


This salad pairs well with stuffed eggplant, or as a side dish to a Lamb casserole, or just on its own with a glass of Fiano or Pinot Noir 🍷


What is summer without salad - see you at the markets !
