Sweet summery salad

Sweet strawberries, ripe peaches, tasty cheese, crunchy pumpkin seeds and lovely leavesSweet summery salad

Sweet summery saladThis is what I made for lunch today.. The Norwegian strawberries are dreamy this time of year, and I try to find new ways to serve these little wonders. If I had a creamy goats cheese, or even feta cheese, I would probably use that, but all I had was a mature ‘Primadonna’ cheese (tastes almost like Parmesan), and it worked well.

Ingredients:

  • strawberries
  • peaches
  • A mix of salad leaves
  • toasted pumpkin seeds
  • cheese; goats-, feta-, or a mature tasty hard cheese
  • a good peppery extra virgin olive oil
  • a nice aged balsamico, or a sweet fig balsamico
  • Maldon salt and black pepper

Rinse, cut and mix.

I served the salad with organic crisp bread and some nice homemade hummus. Perfect!

This is a super-healthy mix of pulses, grains, seeds, raw vegetables, chicken etc. I had some chicken and oven baked tomatoes left-over from yesterdays dinner, and decided to use it in a salad.
