Ingredients Method Notes

Ingrediënten
  

  • 1 big Beet
  • 200 g Cumcumber About 1/3
  • 25 g Red onion About 1/4
  • 1/2 Nectarine
  • Small hand Pumpkin seeds
  • 200 g Lettuce
  • 30 g Soft goat cheese
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic creme
  • 1 tbsp Honey

Method
 

  1. Cut the beets, cucumber, union, nectarine into small cubes and pull the goat cheese into smaller pieces
  2. In the mean time, roast the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat until they start to turn brown and start to smell.
  3. Place the lettuce in the bowl and add all the vegetables and the nectarine. Grate 1/4th of the lemon and spread the zest over the salad. Cut the bottom of the lemon and squeeze about 1 tbsp lemon juice over the salad. Then add the olive oil and mix everything together. Add the goat cheese and the pumpkin seeds and drizzle the balsamic creme and the honey over the salad. Lastly cut the lemon open and pull some of the pulp out of the lemon and spread over the salad.

Notities

  • The salad can be ready even faster if you don't grill the pumpkin seeds, they will be less strong and nutty in flavor.
  • To add an extra deep caramel-like flavor, you can roast the nectarine (and possibly the beets) along with the pumpkin seeds. Possibly with a knob of butter. This takes the salad to the next level.
  • To make it a full meal, you can serve it with bread or toasted pita bread.
