Artichoke, Pea & Pecorino Salad

April 28, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

 

This is a perfect spring salad! It is delicious on it’s own or served with almost anything, we had it with slow cooked spiced leg of lamb and it was amazing.

I love the vibrant green of this salad and it has oodles of flavour. I have used Pecorino in this version which is a sheep’s cheese but by all means leave the cheese out if you are vegan or do not tolerate it well. artichoke

In my opinion there are two key things which are vital to a good salad, fresh herbs and lemon juice! These two key players alone can light up almost any vegetable or salad, and unlike a robust dressing they will never over power, (Rosemary being the exception a whole bunch of this could pretty much over power anything! As we discovered when my husband thought he would get creative in the kitchen…..) Each herb has numerous different health benefits. In fact 80% of medicinal drugs are derived from herbs so by eating lots of plant based foods and fresh herbs it is great preventative medicine and will help to keep us healthy for longer! Lemon is also truly wonderful,  it adds a great acidity and flavour and  has it has a great alkalising effect on the body.

Artichoke is a fantastic liver supporting food and is an excellent source of folic acid, vitamin C and other B vitamins, crucial for energy, reproduction and liver detoxification.

I hope you enjoy it as I much I did in fact I am going to have it tonight too! I think it will be delicious with some fish.
