luscious leaves

Hello. Forgive us, dear foodies, for we have briefly slipped into the abyss of perceived public health food. With little time to spare this evening, we threw this leafery - yes, leafery - together to partially full our tums. The combination of strawberries and balsamic vinegar might sound a bit peculiar to most, but the two acidic flavours compliment one another in a rather delightful and friendshippy way.

For you salad lovers out there, we're quite sure you'll enjoy this fresh and fruity meal. For the rest of you, scroll down for something a little more hearty...

smoked chicken & strawberry salad
with grated parmesan and a balsamic vinegar dressing

[serves 2]

2 handfuls preferred salad leaves
(we used a lambs lettuce, watercress and baby butter mix)

6 cherry tomatoes

8 slices of cucumber

1/8 cup grated parmesan

50g feta cheese

1 smoked chicken breast

4 largish strawberries 
(or 2 if you use gigantic ones like we did)

2 teaspoons of sesame seeds

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

place the lettuce leaves in a salad bowl

add the cucumber to the greens

slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and add them to the leaves

slice the smoked chicken breast and add to the salad

slice the strawberries into smaller pieces and add them to the mix

crumble the feta over the salad

sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the beautiful green mess

devour. 




happy fooding!
