Salad for dinner !

This salad is the perfect meal for warmer nights when we don't want to eat a heavy, hot plate of food and it's a healthy choice as well !
It's not really a recipe with specific ingredients, anything green will do, so let your inspiration flow and create your own version of a light dinner.
I'll give you the ingredients of my salad and you can play around with them as you like.
Enjoy your creation !





Ingredients :
1 lettuce
hand full of baby spinach leaves
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2  raw asperges,  chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
8 to 10 cherry tomatoes
1 beetroot ( wrap the beetroot in aluminum foil, sprinkle it with olive oil and roast it for an hour in the oven, let it cool, peel and chop it up for your salad)
6 slices of bresaola, sliced
hand full of roasted pine nuts

Take out a large salad bowl and mix up all the ingredients.
Prepare a dressing of :
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of truffle oil
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fleur du sel
a few drops of worchestire sauce
black pepper

Mix up the dressing in a little bowl and pour it over the salad just before you're ready to eat.
Have some of your favorite dark brown bread on the side with a good quality goat cheese and nothing can go wrong anymore !
