Lox Winter Salad

Alice Williams
A delicious and warming winter salad with lox.

Ingredients
  

  • 50 g lox
  • Romaine lettuce or salad mix
  • Half a medium sweet potato
  • 5 spears asparagus
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
  • 5 olives
  • Optional: dried rosemary
  • Dressing makes 1 cups worth
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice approx 1 and a half small lemons
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Let's make the dressing first: in a food processor, combine together all of the ingredients and blend until smooth and then put aside for now.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees farenheit.
  • Get your sweet potato and chop into cube sized pieces. Put on a baking tray and drizzle some olive oil on top, add salt, pepper and some dried rosemary (optional).
  • At the same time, prepare another baking pan and put the asparagus on it and also drizzle some olive oil and add some salt and pepper.
  • Here is the tricky part: time co-ordination!
  • Let the asparagus roast for approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the sweet potato bake for 12 minutes, toss it and then continue baking for another 12 minutes.
  • While that is roasting, assemble the romaine lettuce (I like to finely shred mine) or salad leaves and toss with some of the dressing. I will use around 1-2tbsp depending on the size of the salad.
  • Add the capers, sun-dried tomato, olives into the salad.
  • Once the sweet potato and asparagus are done, toss them into the salad.
  • Finally, add the lox on top and ENJOY!

Notes

If the salad is a bit too much on the salty side, omit either the olives or the capers.
