This salad is so tasty and moreish. You can have it as an accompaniment with any main course, or just as it is with a dip and rice cakes – or hot pitta bread, or whatever takes your fancy !
INGREDIENTS
1 cup fresh strawberries, roughly chopped
1 avocado, sliced lengthways
3 cups lettuce of your choice, chopped up
¼ cup fresh coriander/cilantro, finely chopped
1 medium red pepper, sliced
¼ cup roasted salted peanuts
radish, sliced (optional)
a handful of fresh basil leaves (optional)
METHOD
- Assemble the ingredients of your salad once all is washed, chopped, etc, in a large salad plate, or an open plate with a large surface, as per pic.
- Then sprinkle on your nuts, and drizzle on your dressing – or else serve the dressing from a small pouring jug once you have made it.
INGREDIENTS FOR SWEET BALSAMIC DRESSING
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
1½ tsp molasses sugar
1 tsp mustard
Put the above ingredients in a clean jam jar, close lid tightly, and shake until thick. Then open, and adjust the taste to your preference, if you wish.

I served this last night at a pot luck dinner and it was an absolute hit. I did however make a different dressing because some of the guests had to eat fat-free.
It was still a sweet balsamic dressing.

This salad was so yummy, I will be making it quite often I think. I didn’t have peanuts, so used cashews instead.

This salad was sooo good. I made it last night for my family and everyone loved it. Could not find molasses sugar so I used date sugar instead. I will be making this often.
