Sloe Salad Days
The sun is shining! That means it’s barbecue time.
We know spring has sprung and summer is on the horizon when our tastebuds move away from winter stews and head towards salads. With the sunshine a very welcome distraction at the moment, we have been raiding the freezer and having a barbeque whenever we can.
An Apple Jelly Twist
With the lure of sunshine and the sizzle of the grill, we’re embracing the barbecue season with open arms and putting a Wiltshire Liqueur spin on two classic summer salads with our unique sloe gin apple jelly. The results add a tantalising twist to raise your barbecue gatherings to a new level of deliciousness. Join us as we explore these refreshing takes on traditional recipes, perfect for any sunny day feast.
Apple Jelly and Broccoli Waldorf Salad
A Waldorf salad is a fabulous side dish and we thought we’d put a Wiltshire Liqueur twist on a classic. We roughly chopped a head of broccoli and finely chopped a few celery stalks. In a separate bowl, we mixed together mayonnaise with our apple jelly and stirred it through the veggies. Finally, we topped it with some crumbled feta and roughly chopped walnuts, a grind and pinch of salt and pepper and voila!
Apple Jelly Coleslaw
Another classic side salad is the old faithful coleslaw, a surefire way to pep up those barbecued sausages. With our version, the addition of our apple jelly introduced a lovely sweet twist. We finely chopped one spring onion and mixed it with grated carrot and cabbage. We then swirled our apple jelly into mayonnaise, with a good seasoning of salt and pepper before stirring it through the veggies.
We hope our culinary experiments inspire you to try your own versions of salads with a twist. Do let us know how you get on.
