Wild Mushroom Soup with Chive Cream and Madeira
This meal-in-one salad combines the wonderful flavors and textures of caramelized nuts, greens and apples in a light curry dressing. Tuna or chicken can be substituted for turkey. Serve with fresh, crusty bread.
Yield: 4 servings
3 Tbs (25g) walnuts, pieces
2 Tbs (25g) sugar
8 cups (455g) red leaf lettuce, torn into small pieces
1 apple, chopped (any sweet variety)
6 oz (170g) smoked turkey breast, cut into 1-inch (3cm) pieces
1/4 cup (45g) red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing:
1/4 cup (60mL) fresh lemon juice
2 Tbs (30mL) olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp (1g) curry powder
1/4 tsp (2g) salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Prepare dressing: In a jar or small bowl, mix together lemon juice, oil, garlic, curry powder, salt and pepper.
Prepare caramelized walnuts: Combine sugar and walnuts in a heavy skillet. Cook slowly over medium-low heat, stirring often, until all the sugar has melted onto the walnuts and they are brown. Remove from hot pan and cool. If prepared ahead, store in an air-tight container.
Assemble salad: Combine greens, apple, smoked turkey (or tuna) and red onion. Toss gently with curry dressing. Portion salad onto plates and sprinkle with caramelized walnuts.
