Grilled plum salad

By Siba Mtongana

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

6 ripe, firm plums, some halved, some quartered
1 T canola oil
2 T honey
100 g baby rocket, rinsed and dried
100 g watercress, rinsed and dried
40 g walnuts, chopped
40 g pecan nuts, chopped
100 g feta cheese, crumbled

For the dressing, mix:

4 T olive oil
4 t red wine vinegar
1 t Dijon mustard
1 t honey
Salt, a pinch
Pepper, a pinch

Method

1. Brush the plums with the oil and place on a hot griddle pan over the coals. Cook for a minute on each side, then transfer to a plate. Drizzle with the honey.

2. Place the leaves on a platter and top with the nuts, plums and feta. Drizzle over the dressing.

Cook's note: “Once, during a braai, instead of going inside to make the salad and having FOMO, I brought the ingredients outside and decided on the spur of the moment to grill the plums on the braai. The rest is history” - Siba Mtongana
