FRUIT CAMEMBERT SALAD

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SALAD AS IT’S A COMBINATION OF TWO THINGS I FIND HARD TO RESIST – CHEESE, ESPECIALLY CAMEMBERT, AND FRESH FRUITS. IT’S QUITE AN UNUSUAL COMBINATION, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL, AND IT SURE IS TASTY! TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES IS ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE IT.

PREPARATION: 10–15 MIN

NO COOKING TIME

SERVES 4

2 × 125g Camembert wheels

80g watercress, stems removed

250g strawberries, quartered and some sliced

75g raspberries

120g blueberries

4 oranges, peeled and cut into segments (optional)

3 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced

DRESSING

75g strawberries

75g raspberries

juice of ½ orange

15ml balsamic reduction

15ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

15ml Port wine

METHOD

On a big and beautiful platter, place the two cheeses on top of each other, slightly off the centre. Arrange the watercress, berries and fruit around it and place a few berries on top of the cheese.

For the dressing, blend the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour it over the salad, and some on the side, just before serving. Drizzle with extra olive oil.

Siba’s tip…

This salad also works well with fruit-flavoured cheeses. Try a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for a bit of punch.
