On Saturday, after our hike, to celebrate all the calories we burnt, we decided to have a braai (BBQ). The weather is absolutely glorious and it really would be a waste to spend too much time indoors.
I didn't have any lettuce and my spinach is growing wild, so it was time to improvise with a new salad. I also had one avocado (which cost me a fortune) and was very close to reaching it's sell by date.
Spinach Surprise Salad
2 Cups finely shredded Spinach (Swiss Chard)
10 Pitted Green Olives, cut in half
1 Avocado cut into bite size Chunks
4 finely chopped Anchovy fillets (optional)
10 finely sliced Mushrooms
1 Cup Cooked Pearl Barley
60ml Honey and Mustard Salad Dressing (I used Ina Paarman)
Juice of ½ a Lemon
5ml Black Pepper
Mix all the ingredients together and leave to rest for at least 15 - 30 minutes.
I also made some chicken kebabs, inspired by Nina. I did have to adapt this, as I didn't have all the ingredients and was far too tired to go shopping, they were okay, but next time I'll go to a little more effort to follow her recipe!

Oh YUM! That sounds marvellous - the combination of flavours and textures sounds divine. I love that Ina Paarman honey mustard dressing :)
This is a great salad and lots of iron in there too. Thx for the mention, Rose. I appreciate it and value your support.
