Apples, manchego, nectarines, dates, walnuts.
Great as a starter, or for lunch with some bread on the side.
This salad doesn’t look very exciting. My husband admitted he was a bit skeptical before tasting it, but the soft satisfying Manchego cheese and the crisp apples, really work. Next time I will add some rucola for its peppery taste (and color), and add a teaspoon or two of walnut oil.
You need:
- Manchego cheese, in pieces
- crisp apples, sliced
- nectarine or peach, sliced
- dates, sliced
- walnuts, lightly toasted
- lemon juice
- olive oil
- salt + pepper
optional:
- 1-2 tsp walnut oil
- rucola
Mix and taste until you get the right mix of sweet, salty, lemony, peppery, soft an crispy.
