Recipe: The Popcorn Salad

I had a dinner party yesterday and I’ve decided to make the salads myself. I was leafing through my cookbooks when I saw a recipe for a salad with popcorn as an ingredient. At first I was really? Then I thought why not? The salad recipe I found had plain popcorn and radishes with veggies and wasn’t that interesting so I decided to make my own version of a popcorn salad. After all, popcorn have officially become a craze in Kuwait these days so why not?

Danderma’s Popcorn Salad Contains: Caramel & Nut Popcorn, Goats Cheese, Vinaigrette, and Balsamic Glaze! It may not look like much but in reality it looks so much better and tastes really, really good! What will you need?

Ingredients:

A handful -or a cup- of Rocket Leaves.
2 handfuls -2 cups?- of mixed lettuce leaves, the ones with different shapes, shredded.
A handful -1 cup-  of normal everyday lettuce, shredded.
2 small packets of goat cheese.
1-2 Cups Caramel and nuts popcorn from any brand you like.
Vinaigrette dressing, you can Google it or buy it.
Balsamic glaze available in TSC.

How to? Very easy:

Shred and place all the lettuce leaves and the rocket in your bowl.
Slice the cheese and between your palms turn them into balls.
Make -or use a ready made- Vinaigrette dressing and toss the salad leaves with it along with a little salt or pepper.
Add both the cheese and popcorn and give it another careful toss so the cheese doesn’t break.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze all over the top and you are done!

 

Easy, mo? Its very quick, really easy, looks really good in reality, different, lip smacking tasty, on right on the trend! The popcorn will not get soggy since its all covered up in caramelized sugar and it gives a good crunchy texture to the salad. I looked all over Kuwait for some cherry tomatoes to add to my salad but everywhere I go they say it out of stock for some reasons so if you happen to find any you can use it or even better add very think Julian slices of red bell peppers.

What do you think? Will you eat -or make- this salad? If you do please do share with me
