Greek salad

You'll need:
1/2 head cos lettuce
1/4 cucumber
few tomatoes cut wedges
3 spring onion
red onion- cut into rings
olives
100 gr feta cheese
steamed asparagus
pan fried halloumi cheese
For the dressing:
45 ml white wine vinegar
150 ml olive oil
seasoning

Method: Shred the cos lettuce, cut tomatoes into wedges, slice the cucumber and red onion. Chop the spring onion and cut feta cheese into cubes.
For the dressing put the vinegar in the bowl, add seasoning and start whisking. Add oil gradually, whisking all the time. If you add all the oil at once the dressing will split.

Put all the salad items in the bowl, mix with the dressing and put in the serving dish. Garnish with asparagus and pan fried halloumi cheese.

Broccoli-tomato salad


Originally this recipe is Jamie Oliver's but i changed few things. so here it is..

You need: 2 large heads of broccoli
8 slices of bacon
a bit of olive oil
3 tomatoes
1 can of sweetcorn
For the dressing: half glove of garlic
2 tsp dijon mustard
6 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp of white wine vinegar
salt + pepper

Method: Cut broccoli into little florets and rinse with running water. Steam or blanch them for 1 minute. Broccoli has to stay crunchy not soft. Place on a kitchen towel to dry off any water( if broccoli is dry it is easier for dressing to absorb into broccoli).
Fry bacon and let it cool off a little bit and then cut into small strips.
Put bacon and broccoli into a bowl.
Dice up tomato and add to the bowl. Drain off sweetcorn and add that one aswell.

For the dressing crush and chop garlic and mix all the ingredients together. ( i used a whisk).
Pour over broccoli and mix gently.
Enjoy :)
