Well, the name pretty much says it all. I always add a little sumtn-sumtn to my salads to kick them up a notch, so I made broccoli rice & toasted walnuts for an added oomph. Still though, this super simple Spring-time salad is so easy that it only takes 5 minutes to throw together, but tastes extremely fresh and fancy!
The texture combination of the juicy beetroot, the creamy goats cheese & the crunchy broccoli rice is a WINNER to say the least! That’s not even talking flavour. I love sweet & savoury combinations so the honey drizzled over the goats cheese really made this what it is – DELICIOUS INDULGENT LUNCHTIME SUPREMACY… no exaggeration.
Let’s not forget all of the other beautiful little bits I added along the way… smoked salmon, rocket leaves, fresh parsley, spring onion and last but not least, walnuts make this a super easy yet indulgent salad that if you’re like me, will be writing a fucking blogpost about.
Recipe below! Enjoy!
