Grilled plum salad

By Siba Mtongana
4
Easy
10 minutes
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
