Spinach- Beetroot- Salad

Even though it feels like that little bit of summer we had here in Germany is on its definitive route to say goodbye, we still get the occasional warmer days. And in my opinion, those days are just perfect for a nice salad with, maybe, some toasted bread for lunch.

This salad actually came together because I had some beetroot lying around and kept putting off using it.

So here it is. A nice salad that is extremely easy to prepare.

Plum Bresaola Salad

A Salad...

...the first of the season. Well, actually the season for all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, otherwise known as spring, doesn’t really want to start here. We are having below zero temperatures and the sun seems to have got forgotten how to rise... Okay, I’m being overly dramatic but the essential picture is true: It’s cold, windy and there was some snow.

All that bad weather couldn’t keep me from making a nice salad for dinner.  I’m usually not known for eating ‘just’ a salad for dinner but this one did the trick. I didn’t even touch the bread with herb butter I served.

 You’ll need:

(serves 2)

• 2 ripe plums (this also works really great with peaches, oranges and even pears)
• rosemary, preferably fresh and finely chopped, but dried works fine
• Bresaola or Parma ham, 3 -4 slices per person
• salad, a mix with some rocket (or just rocket)
• olive oil
• sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp natural yoghurt
• some goat’s cheese, crumbled
