Finally... a Salad!

After the weekend I've just had, with the bolognese, the muffins, wine, etc, what I need is a refreshing salad.


Grapefruit-Hazelnut Salad

Ingredients:
1 big grapefruit, peeled and sliced.
1/3 cup toasted crashed hazelnuts.
1 centre of a big fine escarole lettuce.
Juice of half a lemon.
1 tablespoon olive oil.
Parmesan cheese slivers.
Sal and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Method:
1. Peel the grapefruit making sure not to leave any white skin on it. Slice it leaving behind the skin separations (see photo).
2. Place the lettuce in the centre of the plate. Arrange the grapefruit slices around it. Sprinkle the hazelnuts on top.
3. Mix the lemon juice and the extra virgin olive oil together and dress the salad.
4. Cut some extremely thin slices of parmesan either with a mandolin or the back of a big knife (only if the parmesan piece is big). Arrange them on top of the salad. Salt and pepper it to taste.


I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
