Salad lovers present? Hands up?
I freely admit that I am not one at first glance. Genetically, I am more of a \u2018chocolate cake instead of greens\u2019 type. Fortunately, this is not reflected in my diet, but my inner glutton would not automatically reach for the peppers.
When it comes to salads as a main course, I am therefore somewhat sceptical and think of wilted salad leaves with dry chicken on top, sold at an expensive price as \u2018salad with grilled fillet strips\u2019.
I am all the more enthusiastic (warning: smelly self-praise ahead) about my salad creation, which made my Sunday lunch a real highlight: a green salad with Gorgonzola dressing, chicken fillet and Brussels sprouts. My website content plan for Tuesday, i.e. today, says: salad. So I had to make a salad. It just sort of came to me. Okay. But I had no idea it would turn out so delicious! Sensational!
With this salad, even I would choose greens over chocolate cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ingredients scream: It's cold outside, and that's a good thing!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brussels sprouts! Local pears! Caramelised walnuts!
As the Viennese would say: OIDA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make it even more seasonal, you could also replace the lamb's lettuce with finely chopped fresh Chinese cabbage. I'm just a real fan of lamb's lettuce. I love its nutty, fresh flavour. A little rocket and lollo rosso (for those who like a bitter taste) would also go well in this dish. The latter also adds colour and an extra portion of secondary plant substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topping with fresh sprouts was actually a spontaneous decision, because I stumbled across these amazing red mustard sprouts in the supermarket. But maybe some of you grow your own sprouts? I did that for a while, too, because it's super easy. I had a simple sprouting jar and sprouting seed mixes at home, and within a few days you have crisp, vitamin-rich sprouts for your salad. Or you can simply grow them on damp cotton wool, as is commonly done with cress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note to self: I need a new sprouting jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salad with Gorgonzola dressing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back to my salad. I had wanted to try salad with Gorgonzola dressing for a long time, but I was sceptical. I quite like Gorgonzola, but I find it quickly becomes too intense and too sharp for me. In this dressing, however, it is softened by yoghurt and slightly sweetened by maple syrup, giving it just a hint of that mild blue cheese flavour. The result is a really comforting dressing. Even on cold days, you won't miss a warm main course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of main courses: the quantities in my recipe for two people are intended for two full main courses. You'll be really full afterwards. Light eaters could even divide the quantity between three people. And if you want to serve it as a starter, use the recipe for four people. Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm really excited to hear what you think of this recipe, everyone. Let me know in the comments if you've tried it out! \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
