TRUFFLE SALAD?!?

It does sound a little weird, but it can work. I had not really considered using Truffle Oil in a salad dressing but now I am a convert.

The other day, I was presented with a salad of rocket and pea shoots, with thinly sliced apple and courgettes, with a light blue cheese. It was dressed with a simple concoction of black truffle oil and balsamic vinegar. It was delicious. The key ingredient was the blue cheese, which combined with the truffle to give the whole salad a sensational flavour.

I am now thinking of what else would work – figs, nuts, cured ham perhaps. It certainly opens the door to a whole range of new salad flavours for summer. Do give it a try.
