You can use standard leeks for this salad, but it tastes better with baby leeks.

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

  • 10 baby leeks or 2 large leaks, thickly sliced

  • Dressing:

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed

  • 2 tsp. whole grain mustard

  • 2 tbsp. lime or lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp. wine or any other nice vinegar

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

  • A pinch of sugar

Instructions

  1. Cook leeks in a pan of boiling water, until tender. Do not over cook. Allow to cool a little. Place in a serving dish.

  2. Place all dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously to mix everything.

  3. Pour over the warm leeks, cover with a cling film and allow to chill for a few hours. This helps leeks to absorb the flavours.

  4. You can add chopped fresh herbs of choice to the dressing, like parsley or coriander.

  5. An alternative dressing would be a 50/50 mix of Mayonnaise and sour cream, with salt pepper and herbs like parsley. in the fridge
