Pizza Night Salad

Everyone loves a good pizza night.

In our family, we like to make our own, and I always make this salad to go with our pizza. It's the perfect complement because it's salty, crunchy, fresh, healthy, easy to make, and great with pizza.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded radicchio
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 (15oz/425g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoncini
  • ½ cup sliced green olives
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced or diced
  • Vegan mozzarella, optional

Dressing options:

  • 30-Second Red Wine Vinaigrette (page 197)
  • ItalianGirl Dressing (page 218)
  • Vinaigrette of your choosing

METHOD

  1. To a large salad bowl, add all the ingredients, including vegan mozzarella, if using. Toss with your dressing of choice, and enjoy.

NOTE: I like to use vegan cashew mozzarella to top my salad!

Cherry clafoutis

I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.

Recipe
Rick stein’s mini brioche toasts with whipped feta, fresh figs and pickled walnuts

‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
