Eating light is very important for our health. The weather is cold, we all long for warm and earthy meals; creamy soups, casseroles, a roast with all the trimmings and decadent pudding for dessert. Those are great, but sometimes it is good to have a break. I am sharing a recipe for winter's salad.
Endives and chorizo are a composed salad, so I will add up whatever ingredients that I have at hands.
Warm Salad
Chorizo, sliced
Meatballs, pan-fried - small balls (optional)3 large shallots, pan-fried
Red capsicum, skinned, pan-fried
Endives, radicchio, lamb lettuce
Salad Dressing

¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ juice of a lemon and some of the rind
Fresh herbs: parsley, chives
Mix all the ingredients together.

Other warm salad is red cabbage and bacon salad. I am happy with my second harvest of yacon, Apple Of The Earth. They are ready to pick, this time the fruits are more abundant, sweet and crisps.
