Chef Live Local and very Summer Salad!

Thanks again to Maria Panopalis and the whole Breakfast Television crew for having me on the show this moring!

As always we have alot of fun but sometimes leave the recipe a mystery – so here is is:

Chef Live summer Salad

 Serves 4 people

Ingredients:

  • 8 sprigs of asparagus
  • 8 fresh strawberries
  • 1 plumcot
  • 1 fresh mango
  • 2 cups of local fresh greens
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

For the dressing:

  • 1 tsp red chilli sauce
  • 1 tsp old fashioned Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 tsp cilantro minced
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together and chill on the fridge for an hour.

Toss the asparagus in a little canola oil and grill on your BBQ on medium for about 3-4 minutes – turn once

Arrange the grilled asparagus, sliced berries, plumcot and mango on the plate with your greens – have fun with it. Drizzel with dressing and garnish with toasted sesame seeds!

This goes great with BBQ Chicken or Pork Chops and a pint of Rickards White garnished with a slice of orange!!!

Get your grill on!!!
