DINNER ACCOMANIMENTS
Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Makes 8 servings (contains approximately 65 kcal in each 1 tablespoon serving)
- 1 small garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (30g)
- 50ml rapeseed oil (cold-pressed for a stronger flavour)
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard (15g)
- 1 teaspoon honey (5g)
- 1 teaspoon snipped fresh chives (5g)
- salt (optional) and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 250°C/450°F. Trim and thinly slice the mushrooms. Cut the red onion in half, then peel off the skin and thinly slice. Cut the red pepper in half, remove the core and seeds and thinly slice.
- Spread the pizza base with the pizza sauce and arrange the mushrooms, red onion and red pepper on top. Crumble over the goat's cheese and place in the oven directly on the oven shelf for 5-6 minutes until piping hot and golden.
- Transfer back on to the chopping board and cut into slices. Arrange on plates with the salad to serve.
Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
- Use a garlic crusher to crush the garlic or the fine side of a box grater if you find that easier. Put into a screw-topped jar (an old washed-out jam jar is perfect).
- Add the balsamic vinegar, oil, mustard, honey and chives to the jar and season lightly with salt (optional) and add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Then screw the lid back on tightly.
- Shake hard until the dressing has thickened and emulsified. Store in the fridge and use as required.
