Homegrown Lamb Summer Salad w Fresh Mint Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 pack Hellers Homegrown Lamb Sausages
  • 30g pecans toasted and roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch asparagus - bottoms trimmed
  • 2 oranges
  • 1/4 red onion finely sliced
  • a good handful of both baby spinach and rocket leaves
  • Fresh Mint Dressing:
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint leaves finely chopped
  • 1 small bunch fresh Italian parsley leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses [or use 1 tbsp red wine vinegar]
  • 100ml olive oil

Method

  1. To make the dressing combine all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together, set aside
  2. Using a small knife remove the orange skin and any pith that remains. Cut the oranges into thin circles and then in half again, set aside
  3. Sear the asparagus on the bbq or in a fry pan in a little olive oil for a few minutes until just tender, remove from heat and set aside
  4. In a fry pan or on the bbq cook the sausages over medium heat until thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and allow to sit for a few minutes to allow the juices to settle
  5. To assemble cut the cooked sausages lengthways and then into halves. Arrange the all salad ingredients onto a large serving plate and drizzle with a small amount of mint dressing
  6. Serve with extra mint dressing, a side of fresh bread or boiled new potatoes are lovely with it too
