Another classic from the 1970's. A nostalgic family favourite, a mouthwatering chopped green salad.
Ingredients
- ½ large cucumber
- 4 spring onions
- 3 sticks celery
- 2 heads Little Gem lettuce
- 50g spinach
- 50g watercress
- 1 punnet mustard and cress
- For the Dressing
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 level tsp castor sugar
- salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp safflower or sunflower oil
- Dash water if needed
Method
- Finely chop the cucumber, onions, and celery, then place into a bowl
- Chop the Little Gem, then the spinach and watercress
- Finally, using scissors, snip in the mustard and cress, then mix well
- Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a liquidiser and blitz well - it will emulsify fairly quickly; you may need a little water to dilute slightly
- Pour over the chilled salad and really mix well
