Just wanted to share a Luscious Lunch that I made today for Glyn and I from bits and pieces that I had in the house already. I was going to make a pizza but I didn’t have all the ingredients I needed and, as it was Easter Sunday, all the supermarkets were shut. So I decided to make a ‘sponny’ (spontaneous) salad based on a dish that Glyn and I once had in a cafe in the beautiful Spanish city of Girona, and it turned out to be super delicious…
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- baby new potatoes (10-12)
- walnut pieces (handful)
- 2 x ripe pears
- blue cheese
- cooked turkey breast (I had half a packet in the fridge that I had bought on the reduced counter which needed eating up but you can leave this out and keep the dish veggie if you prefer)
- mixed salad leaves from a bag
- honey & mustard dressing
How to Make
- Cut the baby potatoes in half and boil until cooked. Drain and leave to dry.
- While the potatoes are cooking, pan-toast a handful of walnut pieces in a dry frying pan
- Cut up 2 small or 1 large ripe pear in to small pieces (don’t forget to put the pear core out for the blackbirds as they love them!)
- Saute the cooked potatoes until golden in a frying pan with approx 1 tbsp of butter
- Throw some mixed leaf salad in to a large bowl
- Add the potatoes, toasted walnuts, and turkey and dress the salad with a honey & mustard dressing or any dressing of your choice
- Add the pears and crumbled blue cheese to the salad and mix it all together
Serve and eat by itself or with some crusty bread and butter. Gorgeous!
