This simple combination of ingredients truly complements one another and is a beautiful synergy of flavours, colours and textures. The vibrant colours of this salad is enough to make your mouth water. Citrus paired with a minty vinaigrette is a refreshing combination, while the sweetness of the rubies gives it just the right balance of flavours. Enjoy this salad with any protein of your choice.
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!
It’s no secret that pear and blue cheese is a fabulous combination. The same is true for this flavourful cheese and broccoli. If you then add a refreshing dressing and top it all with juicy pomegranate arils and nuts, you have side dish like no other. It’s the perfect balance between the salty blue cheese, sweetness of the fruit and crunch from the arils and roasted nuts.
Add sparkle to any table with this salad. Not only does it look beautiful, but it tastes divine too! Bulgar wheat is quick to cook and the perfect base for a fresh salad with green veggies and feta, adorned with shiny pomegranate rubies. A simple vinaigrette with apple, honey, and mint brings all the flavours together for this refreshing side dish. This is a recipe that will have everyone coming back for more!
This is no ordinary bean salad. It’s wholesome and flavourful! Enjoy as a vibrant side dish, great for a braai, or have it as a light vegetarian meal – perfect to pack into a lunchbox as well.
