Hi Everyone!
Well, Covid got us and the MAV and I have been in lockdown. However, with good old Woolies doing deliveries and not being terribly unwell with it, I decided that the MAV and I would continue with our Wine Wednesday. I chose a super easy recipe that took no time at all but certainly didn’t miss out on any flavour here. There really is not a lot I can say about this other than, if you want something that says “summer” then this is it. Buy the BBQ chicken on your way home from work and it will literally take you 10 mins to throw together the mayonnaise ingredients. Once everything is combined it’s into the fridge for one hour and dinner is done. There is so much more that you could add to this salad. Next time I would add a mango, avocado, celery and maybe some walnuts. Take the leftovers to work the next day. The MAV gave it 9/10.
Follow the salad with a dessert of strawberry Ice-cream that has been made the day before. I found this recipe in our local council magazine and because it was a no-churn ice-cream and I knew I could make it lactose free, I decided it was really worth a go.
Well, was it a hit with the MAV! He gave it 12/10 and will be eating it for a week because it makes so much. He says it’s the best ice-cream he has ever had and that is high praise indeed from the ice-cream aficionado. Honestly with all the beautiful strawberries and raspberries around this is another must try. So much you could do with this. Serve it in a cone for the grandkids, team it up with fruit and a wafer or add it as a side to your pavlova.
Actually a perfect Xmas day treat too. It freezes very hard so leave it out of the freezer for about 10 mins or so before you want to dish it up.
All in all a great Covid lockdown Wine Wednesday for the two of us.
So until next week when we are free…
From my table to yours with love x
