  • 1 set of salad spoons

Ingredients

For the dressing

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 10 sweet basil leaves finely chopped
  • Salt to taste

For the produce

  • 2 tomatoes sliced into thick wedges (8.5 oz in weight)
  • 6 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 oz rocket leaves
  • 1 tbsp roasted almonds
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Make the dressing

  • To a mixing bowl, add the maple syrup, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, chopped basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Stir to emulsify this mixture well. Use a balloon whisk.
  • Or add all the ingredients to a salad shaker or ball mason jar.
  • Shake vigorously to combine everything until well incorporated.

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the rocket leaves, peaches, tomatoes, and blueberries.
  • Pour the dressing over this.
  • Add in the toasted almonds, hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds.
  • Mix gently using salad spoons or tongs.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Chop and prepare the fruits only when you are ready to assemble and serve the salad. Peaches and tomatoes become soggy if they are chopped ahead of time. 
  2. Dry the rocket leaves thoroughly using a salad spinner to avoid soggy salad.
  3. Use fresh mint instead of fresh basil if you do not have sweet basil. 
  4. You can easily double or triple this recipe.
