The 13th of June was International Chenin Blanc Day, and to celebrate, Leopard’s Leap Wines asked me to develop a few recipes to pair with their lovely trio of Chenin Blanc’s. Think mussels in a creamy sauce, a broccolini and citrus salad and an elegant cheese platter with roasted pears and goats cheese. Yum!
Fresh fruit in a salad? Yes, please! Seasonal fruit like grapes is more versatile than just as a fruit salad or a snack. The natural sweetness of the fruit combines well with a protein, like chicken. Use fruit as a delicious and healthy ingredient in many creative ways like in this salad. The hint of spiciness in the dressing is so good with the grapes, broccoli and juicy chicken.
