ingredients:
4 or 5 fresh strawberries, sliced to 1/4″ or diced chunky
small handful fresh blueberries, rinsed and whole
1 firm, ripe red plum – cut along the center, twist to separate, remove pit and chop roughly.
1/4 cup bocconcini (torn into small pieces) or feta (broken up)
1/4 cup roughly chopped pecans
optional: chopped pre-cooked baby white potatoes (salt and peppered before adding)
light drizzle of olive oil
small splash of balsamic vinegar
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
small sprig of fresh thyme, minced finely
pinch of Chinese five-spice seasoning, if you have it. (nutmeg or anise or pumpkin pie spice will do, use a light touch!)
directions:
mix everything together, toss with olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper. Serve fresh on a bed of spinach or fresh mixed greens. If you have a lot of excess liquid, save it for the next day for a delicious dressing for a green salad!!
difficulty: Easy! Expensive ingredients, though.
time to prepare: 5 min, tops.
double-able?: YEAH!! super pricey but so worth it in the summertime.
