SALAD TRICKS #2 Salad Toppers Edition

Salad Toppers. Yum Yum.

I love salads. But sometimes I need some new flavours or textures or just something different to make it more exciting. It’s hard to think of new ideas all the time, and I have realised that sometimes some simple toppers provide that new little adventure on the salad. So here are 3 salad topper options that I have been enjoying lately.

PICKLED ONIONS

- 2-3 purple onions

-  3/4 cup of apple cider vinegar

- 2 Tbsp lakanto

METHOD

- Put vinegar and sweetner in a jar and shake to combine.

- Add the onions and press down with a spoon.

- Leave for an hour before using.

- Store in the fridge afterwards.

ROASTED TAMARI SEEDS

- 400g Pumpkin seeds

- 400g Sunflower seeds

- 200g Sessame seeds

- Tamari

METHOD

- Preheat oven to 180.

- Line baking trays and spray with olive oil.

- Put all seeds in a bowl and mix in Tamari until all seeds are coated and there is no residue at the bottom of the bowl.

- Bake in the oven for approx. 20 min. At halfway I take them out and stir them around and swap so they both get a turn on the top shelf.

- Let cool before putting in a jar for storage.

SHAVED FENNEL

- 1 Fennel, shaved or thinly sliced

- 2 celery stick thinly sliced

- Olive oil, approx. 1-2 Tbsp

-Salt

METHOD

- Mix all together in a bowl using hands to massage the oil into the fennel.
