This is really not a recipe post at all. Mainly I just wanted to share a few pictures of the new dishes that I bought at Crate & Barrel outlet over the weekend: the pretty white bowl and a few martini-shaped (but short stemmed!) glasses.Over the weekend I made a Pork Chop & Cherry recipe for Robyn's blog and had one pork chop. I decided to make salad with it.
Given that it's fall, I wanted to incorporate some fruit to the salad: so here it is!
Pork, Fruit & Feta Salad
Ingredients
cooked pork chop, cubedgrapefruit, segmented
grapes, halved
spinach
feta
olive oil
salt & pepper
Directions
Combine the first 5 ingredients, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt & pepper if you feel like it.
The pictures below are of a composed version of the salad. I really liked the sweetness of the grapes and grapefruit contrasted by the salty flavor of feta.
And now for dessert: all this is a pomegranate/vanilla sorbet (store bought), drizzled with some chocolate syrup and sprinkled with almonds. Delicious!
Don't you think these glasses would be so cool for cold soups? Hmm, is it too late to make gazpacho?
Well i thought it was a fab salad, full of lots of great colour... but then i saw the desert :D and now i want it!!!
ReplyDeleteooh, lovely dishes! Crate and Barrel just opened their second Canadian location up in my city. It'll take me an hour to get there, but I'm looking forward to making the trek.
ReplyDeleteI think you can always make gazpacho, don't you think? Love the bowls and the glasses! I have a serious problem with all the good looking glasses and bowls and plates etc... Got too many... sigh.. and I keep buying!
ReplyDeleteCute dishes! And I love your new fall-ish header!
ReplyDeleteYour header image means it's fall time for sure. Adding the pork to this salad is really different. It's the first time seeing meat with the watermelon and feta combination.
ReplyDeleteCorrection! That would definitely be grapefruit...not watermelon. Which you stated. :) Ohhh Thursday...
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw salad that colorful..I was sold..and the desert too...lovely pictures too. Now I Have to have some sweet :)
