Spinach and sunflower seed salad

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
150 millilitres Cider vinegar; (1/4 pint)
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
100 grams Dried apricots; (4oz)
150 grams Sunflower seeds; (5oz)
2 tablespoons Tamari
750 grams Young leaf spinach; torn into bite
; sized pieces (1
; 1/2lbs)
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Reserved juice from the apricots
1 teaspoon Coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

Bring the vinegar just to the boil in a small pan, remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and apricots. Leave to soak for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, drain over a bowl, reserving the juice. Chop the apricots.

Put the seeds in a heavy, dry frying pan and stir gently over medium heat until just turning golden. Remove from the heat and quickly mix in the tamari -it will sizzle a lot and go sticky. Then, straight away, pour the mixture from the pan onto a cool plate or greaseproof paper (wax paper).

Put the spinach into a serving bowl and add the chopped apricots.

Whisk together the olive oil, reserved apricot juice and black pepper and add to the spinach, apricots and sunflower seeds. Combine gently and serve.
