The spring has kicked in here and things are in full bloom, with first shy greenery wrapping itself around the bare branches. This weather puts me in a mood for some lighter food, so here’s a delicious salad recipe for you to try out. The fish sauce and mustard combo definitely add that special something to it.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 2 servings / 1.19 EUR per serving / 2.37 EUR for all)

For the salad:

Large handful of mixed greens; I used baby spinach, baby chard, arugula, bull’s blood and lamb’s lettuce mix (1.33 EUR)

1 large carrot (0.10 EUR)

4 spring onions (0.53 EUR)

For the dressing:

1 tsp mustard (0.03 EUR)

1 tbsp fish sauce (0.13 EUR)

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

1 tbsp lemon juice (0.13 EUR)

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

METHOD:

Wash and pat dry all the veggies. Discard any suspicious bits and peel the carrot. Chop the onions and carrot into thin strips, roughly chop up the greens and then toss everything together. Whisk all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning, then drizzle the dressing over your veggies. Serve immediately.

Proljeće je ovdje u punom zamahu, a prvo sramežljivo zelenje počelo se pojavljivati na golim granama. Sa takvim mi se vremenom odma jede i laganija hrana, tako da vam evo jedan brzinski recept za finu salatu koji možete isprobati, a kombinacija ribljeg umaka i senfa tu dodaju mrvicu nečeg posebnog.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 2 porcije / 8,96 kn po porciji / 17,91 kn za sve)

Za salatu:

Veliki pregršt miješanog zelenja; ja sam upotrijebila miks baby špinata, baby blitve, rukole, bull’s blooda i matovilca (10,00 kn)

1 velika mrkva (0,75 kn)

4 mlada luka (4,00 kn)

Za dresing:

1 žličica senfa (0,25 kn)

1 žlica ribljeg umaka (1,00 kn)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

1 žlica limunovog soka (1,00 kn)

½ žličice svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,25 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite i kuhinjskom krpom lagano posušite povrće. Bacite sve sumnjive dijelove i ogulite mrkvu. Luk i mrkvu narežite na trakice, grubo narežite zelenje, pa sve to pomiješajte. Razmutite sve sastojke za dresing u maloj zdjelici dok ne dobijete emulziju. Kušajte i prilagodite začine, pa pokapajte dresing po povrću. Poslužite odmah.
