Ingredients:
For the salad:
4 handfuls of mixed young salad leaves like rocket, dark salad leaves & lamb’s lettuce, cut up a bit
16 fresh raspberries, 8 per plate
1/2 block of a good feta’s cheese, crumbled into bite-sized chunks
2-3 ripe fresh figs, cleaned up, outer flesh removed & cut up
4 pieces of thinly sliced smoked ham so 2 pieces per person
that same peppery extra virgin olive oil as below for the dressing
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons of a good organic peppery extra virgin olive oil
5 grins of finely milled black pepper
a few pinches of Maldon sea salt
1 + 1/2 tablespoon of a good aged balsamic vinegar
Method:
- Take a fitted bowl for the salad leaves & drizzle a bit of that peppery extra virgin olive oil over it. also some balk pepper & a pinch of sea salt. Mix it all together with clean hands. Wash your hands.
- Place oiled salad leaves onto a clean white plate, evenly spread out. Do the same with the other plate. Arrange your raspberries over your plates, on the outer edges. Snug some pieces of that yummy feta besides it. This is about 8 pieces per plate. Snug the smoked ham in the middle of each plate & finally, place fresh fig pieces in the center of each plate.
- Just before serving, make the dressing. take a fitted jam pot & add all ingredients. Screw fitted lid on & shake jam pot up & down a few times or until the oil & vinegar has mingled well. Taste. It must have a kick & must have a good balsamic flavor! Drizzle a bit of the dressing all over each plate, in a circle but not on the figs! Enjoy with a loved one! MMMM!
