Leafy Salad with Cheatin’ Rashers & Greek Style Cheezly Rose’s recipes IVS 07

Serves 4
Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes
A Christmas cracker of a recipe from Rose Elliot. The rashers have a pleasantly smoky flavour without being too “meaty”, and Greek Style Cheezly is a dead ringer for feta. Together with tender baby spinach leaves and a zingy dressing, they make a Cool Yule Christmas starter!
See www.redwoodfoods.co.uk for local stockists of Cheatin’ Rashers and Cheezly or else order direct.
120g/generous 4oz Redwood’s Greek Style Cheezly
115g/4oz Redwood’s Cheatin’ Rashers
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp mustard
2 x 225g/8oz packets baby leaf spinach
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Drain the oil from the Greek Style Cheezly – you may want to use some of this to oil the pan for frying the rashers and make the dressing.
Fry the rashers in a lightly-oiled frying pan according to the packet instructions. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, put the garlic, oil, vinegar and mustard into a deep salad bowl with some salt and pepper and mix to make a dressing.
Put the baby spinach on top. It will seem like a lot, but it will shrink when coated with the dressing.
With kitchen scissors, snip the rashes into pieces and add to the bowl, along with the Cheezly.
Gently toss the salad until everything is mixed.
