Hi everyone
I am testing a few recipes..
And with mumbai summers you want to eat something light and hydrating.. The sun practically soaks everything out of you..
Ingredients
Lettuce : romaine & iceberg
Baby spinach
Red cabbage
Arugula
7-8 cherry tomatoes
Slices of green apple
Dressing
2 tbsp pesto
1tsp Vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp Grated Parmesan
Freshly ground pepper
Salt as per taste
Take your greens and just tear them..into medium sized irregular pieces..you could also use sheers
Add the tomatoes and apple slices to it
You could replace the cherry tomatoes with sun dried tomatoes..and also add a few pieces of croutons..
I have not sliced the tomatoes as I dint want the juice to make the salad soggy
Toss the pesto ..and mix well with hands..I like to feel the food I eat..and it would even mix evenly
Now I'd suggest dissolve the sugar with the vinegar.. As there are changes it will not dissolve if added separately .. N u may get that crunch in the bite
Salt and pepper to taste..
Very little grated Parmesan just sprinkled on top
P.S : add the dressing just when you are about to eat..this will help your greens to remain crunchy.. And preferably keep everything refrigerated..for the crispyness :)
Pesto
Ingredients
Handful arugula leaves
Handful basil
7-8 cashew nuts
1-2 cloves of garlic
Few drops of lemon
2-3 leveled tbsp Olive oil
Blend all the ingredients together in a blender to make a smooth- semi liquid paste . add more oil ONLY if u want to preserve the pesto for longer days.. The proportion above will only be enough for the salad..
I hope you enjoy the salad as much as I did .. Please let me know..leave a feed back or comment as when you need help
We are new on the blog..and we are starting with simple things..help us grow..
