Last night, Madhouse Daddy Mike offered to make dinner and asked if I'd like him to cook a salad. I discreetly sniggered at the idea of cooking a salad and said yes please. I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth !
Well, when he delivered the meal, he had indeed cooked an enormous salad - well, some of it anyway !
As well as serving up a big plateful of healthy salad leaves, sliced tomatoes, chunks of cheese and green olives, his rather impressive (and slightly daunting !) composition included a soft-boiled egg, fried mushrooms and bacon pieces. All drizzled with salad dressing. Wow ! It tasted divine but I have no doubt that this is one of those salads that contains as many calories as a Big Mac meal !
Well, Schwartz has also provided him with another secret ingredient - a little tub of Perfect Shake Fennel Seed, Tomato & Basil Salad Special Blend. This spice mix contains Dried Tomato (24%), Red Bell Peppers, Fennel Seed (11%), Rosemary, Basil (8%), Salt, Black Pepper, Shallots, Dried Garlic and Vegetable Oil and it adds a really lovely depth of flavour to salads, even if they haven't got such a wide range of ingredients as the Super Mega Madhouse Salad above !
100g of product does contain 277 calories and 5.1g of fat, but the whole pot only contains 25g so a quick shake shouldn't be too bad, even if you are watching your weight.
The Salad Special Blends range also comprises Sesame Seed, Coriander & Cumin Salad Special Blend and Lemon Grass, Coriander & Garlic Salad Special Blend, if you want to experiment with different flavours.

This looks nice. I am not sure if I would like the blend with Fennel in but the other blends sound lovely

ReplyDeleteI hve just used up the last of my stock of perfect shake tomato, fennel seed and basil. Even though it was well out of date I used up the last little bit with no decrease in its taste and as good as when it was bought. Now I can't find it in the supermarket Help please
