Grapefruit salad, strawberries and baby spinach with elderberry syrup

Salade de pamplemousse

Voici une salade de fruits quelque peusurprenante ! Oui oui vous lisez bien, des pousses d’épinards dans une salade de pamplemousse, votre vue ne vous joue pas des tours !!! Cela faisait longtemps que j’avais envie d’essayer l’épinard en salade version sucrée et c’est chose faite avec beaucoup de succès. J’ai la chance d’avoir encore des fraises qui poussent sur ma terrasse à cette saison, alors j’en profite !

Pour sucrer le tout, j’ai utilisé du sirop de fleurs sureau artisanal ramené de chez ma sœur en Lozère, and this little floral touch really brings that little something extra to the whole.

    Oh what a coincidence ! At dinner, the same salad with toasted almonds but salty version with vinaigrette !
    The sweet version must be good too… What to create a concept for brunch : " Today, salad with your choice : elderberry syrup or balsamic vinegar…
    Good evening

      You can find an elderberry drink from our Swedish friend (small beige briquettes), elderberry has a very mild taste, you quickly become addicted, it is a shrub that produces small white flowers and berries, very common in Europe. I'm sure you can find some.
      Have a nice day miss !
      Kisses
