Vegetarian Sunburst Salad Recipe

You will need :-

2 medium carrots

1 large lettuce

1/2 cucumber

8 oz. Cheddar cheese

1 heaped tablespoon peanut butter

2 tablespoons French dressing

 

Preparation Time :- 10 minutes

 

Peel the carrots, wash and drain the lettuce, wipe the cucumber and slice thinly. Grate the carrots and cheese on a coarse grater. Beat the peanut butter into the French dressing; it will become quite thick. Line a salad bowl with lettuce leaves.

 

Arrange the cheese and carrots in alternate heaps around the bowl, so that each person may take a serving of carrot and cheese with some lettuce. Use cucumber slices as dividers.

 

After serving, pour dressing over each position.

Basic French dressing: 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tablespoons tarragon or wine vinegar and 6 tablespoons olive or corn oil. It will keep in a cool place for at least 1 week. Serves 4.

 

Quick Tip

 

To make cucumber cones: do not remove the skin. Cut thin slices of cucumber. Make one cut on each slice to centre. Overlap cut edges to make cone.
