Chèvre Grape Salad
Chèvre Grape Salad
Serves 2 as a light main course, or 4 as a starter
An intense-tasting salad from Jamie Oliver. You can use rocket instead of tarragon, and it makes a nice light dinner as well as a good starter. Down with your favourite white, or a nice easy sparkling something.
*
3-4 shallots, finely sliced
good white vinegar, 4-5 tbsp
1 tsp dried tarragon
4-5 tbsp olive oil
2 large handfuls of rocket, washed and dried
2 bunches of seedless grapes, sliced in half
150 g chèvre cheese
salt, freshly ground black pepper
First
Place the sliced shallots in a small bowl. Cover with the vinegar and add
the dried tarragon. Let stand for at least fifteen minutes. This makes the
shallots crunchy and almost pickled.
Second
Place the rocket and the grapes in a large bowl. Add the shallots and their
vinegar, add the olive oil. Toss. Season with a little salt and freshly ground
pepper if you'd like. Divide unto plates, and sprinkle with crumbled chèvre.
