Made both the salad and Raspberry Balsamic Reduction today.
All the different elements came together to make a lovely and different salad, one that I will make again for sure because I loved it.
The creaminess of the torn bocconcini with the sweetness of the honeyed pecans, raspberries and beetroot went so well with the onion, greens and drizzle of reduction.
I decided to serve it with a Za’atar (Yotam Ottolenghi) rubbed salmon fillet to make the meal more filling, and again this went so well with it.
I used fresh raspberries, I just think they are nicer than using frozen ones in this dish. Crusty bread to mop up the juices really topped it off.

We had this lovely salad on Christmas Day.... Fresh raspberries too.. It was terrific!!
-
This really looks appetising. Not sure if I would splurge on fresh raspberries though. I'm a cheapskate and won't pay $10 for them.
-
Cookie, are they $10/punnet over there? :o I got some really lovely ones for $4/punnet from Woolies, you don't need more than the 1, in fact I've still a few left over. I have been snacking on the honeyed nuts though. ;D

Made this last night but used feta instead of boccincini and didn't add the raspberries, and used baby spinach as the green. Was enjoyed by all particularly the nuts.

I've used this recipe a number of times over the last 12 months and it's always been a hit. It's an easy but impressive salad to make in a short amount of time if you have access to the ingredients. Last night I did exactly as per the recipe using frozen raspberries, but I have been making it with feta, pomegranate and pomegranate molasses and that's liked equally as well.

I love the sound of this salad - not sure how I missed it before ??? I have been given some fig balsamic vinegar that I have never used (not quite sure how to) - would it be OK on this recipe instead of the raspberry balsamic reduction do you think?
-
I love the looks and description of this salad! Seems really lovely, but I can't buy the book here in Holland. Is it possible to post the recipe? Would be very appreciated!

Thanks every one, I found the recipe on the internet.😊
-
Karen, I'm sure that would be fine to use. I've used a few dressings and have all been good.
-
Thanks Wonder - I am making this salad today, and when I tried to make the balsamic reduction it got waaaaay to thick and smelt burnt and went all sticky like jam, so I am going to use the fig balsamic anyway! Not sure what I did wrong with the reduction though ??? ??? Will have to give it another try another day.

Don't cook it as long Karen. It thickens more once cooled so take it off when it's only a little syrupy.
