CAMPHIRE SALAD RECIPE



INGREDIENTS

FOR SHERRY VINAIGRETTE
  • 65ml sherry vinegar
  • 1tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano, minced
  • 125ml extra virgin olive oil
FOR SALAD
  • 900g asparagus, trimmed ends
  • 450g French beans, fresh and cut into pieces
  • 3 large carrots, shredded
  • 200g black beans, rinsed and drained

 
DIRECTION

FOR SHERRY VINAIGRETTE
  • In a small bowl whisk jointly the vinegar, sugar, and oregano; season with salt and pepper.
  • Gradually include oil, whisking continually to blend and put asaide.  
FOR SALAD
  • To lighten the asparagus, get a large pot of water to a boil, then drop the asparagus spears in for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on their size.
  • Eradicate from the water and shock them briefly in a bath of ice water to stop the cooking and protect the green color.
  • Drain carefully. Repeat the same process with blanching the green beans, cooing a little longer, about 5 to 7 minutes. 
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the carrots, black beans, and green beans. Toss jointly until well mixed.
  • Drizzle with half the sherry vinaigrette and mix carefully. 
  • Put a small pile of salad mix in the center of 6 small plates.
  • Build a campfire stack by arranging 4 or 5 asparagus spears leaning against each other over the salad.
  • Drizzle a little vinaigrette on each stack and hand out. 
  • If taking to a picnic, keep salad mix and vinaigrette separate until ready to serve, then combine and plate.
