Spinach, Orange and Brazil Nut Salad with a Blackcurrant Dressing

 

 



A salad dressing can be flavoured in so many different ways. To this one I added some Barker's Lite Squeezed New Zealand Blackcurrants Fruit Syrup which gave it a vibrant ruby red colour.

The salad itself is a healthy mixture of  baby spinach, orange segments and chopped brazil nuts

 

Best to use a ceramic or glass bowl for this salad as the dressing can soak into a wooden bowl and leave its mark.

 

Blackcurrant Vinaigrette

 

1 tablespoon of Barker's Lite Squeezed New Zealand Blackcurrants Fruit Syrup.

2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

salt and pepper to taste

 

Whisk altogether.

 

Balance the ingredients to suit your own taste buds.

If you would  like a slightly sweeter and more intense blackcurrant flavour increase the fruit syrup to two tablespoons.
