Chicory and Cucumber Salad with Zesty Kiwi Dressing
Refreshing Kiwi Dressing # Chicory Cucumber Salad
Introducing a healthy salad and dressing recipe. This vibrant dish is packed with fresh flavors and nutrients, making it a perfect light meal or a delightful side.
Salad Ingredients- 1 handful Chicory (approx. 30-40g)
- 1/4 Cucumber (approx. 50g)
- 1/2 small Apple (approx. 70g)
- 1 wedge Lime (approx. 10g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious kiwi dressing. Peel one ripe kiwi and cut it into four pieces. Wash one wedge of lime thoroughly (keeping the peel on for extra aroma) and set it aside. The lime peel adds a wonderful fragrant note to the dressing.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the prepared kiwi pieces, lime wedge, and the dressing ingredients: 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Step 3
Pulse the blender for short bursts, about 7 times, stopping in between. The goal is to lightly break down the kiwi, leaving some texture from the seeds and small chunks of fruit visible. This slight chunkiness is key to the dressing’s delightful texture and fresh taste.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the salad vegetables. Trim the chicory and cut it into 3-4cm lengths. Slice the 1/4 cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice it on the diagonal (about 0.5cm thick). Wash the half small apple thoroughly, remove the core, and slice it into 1cm thick pieces. Leaving the peel on the apple adds extra fiber and nutrients.
