Roasted Balsamic Spring Onion Salad

Roasted Balsamic Spring Onion Salad

This is fabulous as a side salad for a BBQ feast or as a light lunch with good bread in its own right.

 

3 bunches of spring onions

4 generous Tb Kato Aged balsamic dressing

3 heaping handfuls of mixed salad leaves

100g feta

Salt and pepper to taste

 

If you are cooking this in an oven, preheat to 180C.

Wash and trim spring onions, leaving all of the white section and up to half of the green.

Lay onions on a large sheet of aluminium foil.

Pour Kato Aged balsamic dressing over the onions.

Season with salt and pepper.

Fold foil into a secure parcel.

Place parcel into oven or onto BBQ plate.

Cook for about 20 minutes or until the onions are soft and slightly caramelised.

Remove onions from the parcel and arrange the onions, salad leaves and crumbled feta deliciously on a platter.

Pour over any remaining juices. 

Variations:

If any of this is left over, add to freshly boiled new potatoes, drizzle with a little more Kato Aged balsamic dressing, season and you have a killer potato salad.
