Description

When spring comes along, I start craving the flavors of summer, but still prefer to eat warm meals. This salad bridges the gap.


Ingredients

Scale
  • olive oil
  • one tin of anchovies (in oil)
  • two garlic cloves
  • a handful of chopped walnuts
  • 1 yellow pepper

  • 2 large handfuls of arugula
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • parmesan shavings (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in pan. Add chopped garlic, anchovies, walnuts. Stir to break up anchovies.
  2. Wash and chop the yellow pepper, add to pan.
  3. Wash and chop radicchio. Add to pan when the pepper has started to soften, along with a splash of apple cider vinegar and some salt.
