Nutty Salad
Salad:
- 1 Cos lettuce, washed and torn into bite size pieces
- 125 grams pine nuts
- 125 grams cashews
- 125 grams almond slivers
- ½ to 1 bunch of shallots, chopped
- 1 packet Chang’s Fried Noodles
Dressing:
- ½ cup cold pressed olive oil
- ½ cup castor sugar
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Mix the dressing ingredients really well in a shaker to dissolve the sugar and
make sure all of the ingredients are well combined. Combine the lettuce, nuts, noodles and dressing and toss well.
Important - Assemble the salad at the last minute, just prior to serving, otherwise the dressing will make the nuts and noodles go soggy. This salad could be made the day before. Prepare the lettuce and shallots and store in the fridge in an airtight container. Prepare the nuts, let cool and store in an airtight container. Prepare the dressing and store in the fridge in an airtight, leak proof container. Just prior to serving, combine all the ingredients together and toss
well.
Lightly roast the nuts under the griller until golden brown and allow to cool. When the nuts are cool, combine with the remaining salad ingredients.
