The Dreamy Cais Dubh

We all know its way easier to eat ‘healthy foods’ when they are covered in creamy cheese salad dressings, don’t we? I am quite confident that this recipe is gonna do just that and become a new summer classic. It’s absolutely class with summer time crudités (just in case you’re launching an art gallery opening in the 1970’s), or with boiled eggs, or with roasted chicken sambos, now have I got your attention yet ? ….. ok cool great 👍 This also goes well with all the wine….

Ingredients

1 tub of creme fraiche

1 Jar of Builin Blasta Smoked Onion Mayo (available in our Meath, Dublin and Galway shops)

70 mls of butter milk

200 grams of Cnoc Dubh (check your local Sheridans) or St Tola

20 grams of Boquerones

2 cloves of garlic

1 tsp of Fallot dijon mustard

1 squeeze of lemon juice

Method

Sooooo pour yourself a glass of wine, this is fun and it’s hot out! Put everything in the nutribullet and blitz until it’s all come together and a super creamy dressing, and pop it in the fridge until you start building your salad.

Now I’ve left this pretty simple, I’ve roasted two heads of broccoli with olive oil and chilli and lemon zest, 15 mins at 180 should do.

I’m using two heads of Roman lettuce in this salad for the leafy crunch texture – this or ice berg lettuce would be absolutely perfect!

I’ve crushed some store bought croutons with a handful of walnuts for the crunch factor and added some ripe nectarines for sweetness. Layer everything up in your fav salad bowl and cover in this dressing and you’re done! This is kinda of giving Walldolf/Ceaser vibe, think Selling Sunset season 5….
